When I was younger I had what I now know was lovely skin:

Smooth, blemish free and always glowing..... Boy was I lucky!

In my twenties I had my two children. By the time they were toddling around together and starting school, I had learned to lower my head, grow a fringe and get used to people talking to my chin or forehead. Gone were the days that my eyes were gazed into. People were having conversations with my spots.

I had developed adult acne. (more info)

My chin and forehead took great delight in erupting into large, red, angry boils, that didn't even have the grace to develop into something satisfyingly squeezable (and let's face it - we have all gone for a bit of self facial mutilation when we are full of miserable spots.) I went through the usual repeat visits to the doctor's surgery, coming away with various potions and pills. How they dried my face out: even burning it. This in turn caused fine lines and eczema patches. After enough persisting I finally managed to get to see a specialist who said "It's only acne, have these pills"

Anyone with acne knows it is not 'just acne'. It affects everything, especially self confidence!

I also had an appointment where a specialist told me "Oh yes, it's acne, adult acne. Can be hard to treat but here is a high dose of pills to take."

Result = Lovely clearer skin but severe depression from taking a high dose of antibiotics, together with I.B.S. flaring up.

I had, had enough and stopped taking the pills and stopped using the gels, lotions and creams. Within 2 weeks my face was hurting and my lumpy spots had returned.

The latest specialist put me on a waiting list for light therapy treatment and I must say, he was very sympathetic. But hopefully now, if things carry on as they are now, he may tell me I do not need the treatment. Why?................
