I seem like im going round in circles and causing my girlfriend endless grief " me worrying when there is more bad **** in the world" .What the hell do i do?

I had moderate acne a few years back, I did my frickin' head in but I went to my doctor and she prescribed me with a drug called Minocin. I took about 4-6 months to see an improvement but it did eventually work for me and despite the odd spots now and again my skin has been relatively great since. Try your doctor.

Everyone will say it's nothing to do with your diet. The dermatologist told me that. Magazines said it, tv said it. I was sure I got spots from sugar.

I said it to my GP and he said yes, a very small percentage of people will have reactions to sugar.

I cut down on sugar and spots started to fade.

Also, they always say if you squeeze them, they will leave a scar, I squeezed every one, I only have one tiny scar. I'd say I've squeezed well over 1,000 spots in my time.

Go to your GP an ask. He may perscribe you with Oxytetracycline. This may help with scarring.
