Hey, I am 19 and from the UK.

I have quite a few spots around my chin and mouth area. Other than that My skin is really clear. I am here to find some anwsers and not to be lectured about everythign I have read because I am rally confused. One site says chocolate causes acne, one says it does. Stress aoppratly does and one doesnt....Its ridicolous. So I did some googling. When looking around I found that girls have complained about spots in the same area when having periods and hormonal changes.

So I did some thinking back. When I was younger 16-17 I had testosterone jabs, because I was behind puberty. This didnt mature me pysically but it made me hairier :P Anyway, I have gotten alot taller recently and I have gone from a M to a L in clothes and also gotten fatter/filling out slightly. Basically I have a body of a 16yr old and could these spots be related to my body changing/hormones? If they are what specific "remidies" should I do/take? Because no amount of cleaning etc has reduced them.

Also another problem I am having is my cheeks. They are red and next to my nose my pores are open. The redness goes down the side of my face and is kinda blotchy.

I use a cleanser and a toner on my face at evening and face wipes in the morning. I dont take any vitamins, but I do try to drink 2lts of mineral water a day. My doctor prescribed Zindaclin 1% gel and Ive been using that and it has slighty worked but no drastic improvement. Because of my body chaging I have started to shave so I thought it was that (ingrowing hairs etc) but when doing more and more research it doesnt look like it. Shoudl I just stick it out. Most of the spots have been very red ending up to have little whiteheads. I am desperate to get rid of them, I feel so bad when I look at my mates and there skin is perfect and it is a real knock down on my confidence when out drinking and socialising.

Thanks for reading.
