Hi,
I'm a 25 old woman and I've been getting moderate acne on my cheeks for a couple of years now. I've been on the contraceptive pill (Microgynon) for years and have recently changed to Marvelon (I've completed 1 cycle) to try and help. I've also been taking various supplements that are meant to help hormones, as I hear the pill can effect zinc levels etc. I've seen significant improvements and I'm pretty much clear on my cheeks now.
However, I'm now getting some strange spots at the side of my chin that keep reappearing in the same area that are unlike spots I've had before. I don't know if they count as pustles, because when they come to a head the spot contents is a BIG, round, solid mass of I-dont-know-what! I don't know if this is acne or perhaps a reaction to something on my skin? I'd like to know the best way of treating and preventing these, as they keep coming back in the same areas and I'm getting quite a large area of hyper pigmentation.
Thanks for any help or advice that you can give!
