Blemish? Pimple?

Question

I know that protecting our face is very important, therefore, i've always put on my sunblock before going out. But whenever i came home from school, i'll have little white spots that can be burst when you scratched it. I would like to know what causes it and how to prevent it. Oh, and also i don't use makeups.

I found this answer on www.medhelp.org/forums/dermatology/messages/30538.html - 10k -
Given by Dr. A. Rockoff, a board certified dermatologist, affiliated with Tufts University School of Medicine.
It was his response to a similar question:
"While I obviously can't say for sure without examining you, I suspect you are describing pityriasis alba, a mild type of eczmea which can affect the face and leave light spots which are not permanent. I suggest you try OTC hydrocortisone 1% plus moisturizing. Over the warmer months, the condition should even out. A dermatology consultation would also be a good idea."
Also, many skin problems are caused by harsh chemicals and ingredients in soaps and cleaners resulting in blocked and enlarged pores and other problems. Be sure to use very mild cleaners. Washing too much is also not good. It's also good to massage face with tea tree oil - very beneficial and healing. A healthy skin is self moisterizing and does not need any other moisterizer and does not need frequent washing.. And you could check to see if the sunblock is right for you. I have a sensitive skin and use Eclipsol - a high spf.(often as high as 50) for sensitive skin and it's recommended by dermitoligists. It's the only one I found which doesn't run when sweating. Others do and hurt the eyes.
Hope this is helpful.

You may use the sunblock called SUNCROSS.
I also had the same problem.Use of this cream has redused my problem to a very long extend.
It is the sunblock recommended even by docters.
