I wondered if it could be some kind of acne? Either way, its not the most flattering look. My workmates have christened my chin pimple 'Boris' as its been there so long.

My dr gave me a mild antibiotic for acne, worked brilliantly

The pharmacist is an excellent idea, cornergran. Why didn't I think of that?

I'd ask a pharmacist if it could be seborrheic dermatitis. Sounds similar to the skin condition I developed out of the blue about 8 years ago, GP finally worked out what it was, prescription cream cleared it quickly.

Me too, jogginggirl - that would be awful, from what I've seen.
Now to get rid of the mountains on my face, hopefully.

They're only on my face, both sides, no tingling or anything. I think I'm safe to assume they're 'only' pimples.

Have you been checked out for shingles MissAdventure confused

I have had a real spate of big, horrible pimples; the kind with no head, which deform whichever part of your face they decide to appear on.
I can't think of anything which I've been doing differently, but they're starting to get me down.
Has anyone any advice, please? I've been using tea tree oil, but it doesn't seem to be making the slightest difference.
Could it be a symptom of stress, do you think?
