I have a SERIOUS problem & I've been suffering it since the beginning of 2007. Every month, roughly 1 - 2 weeks before my period starts, I get a terrible breakout of blemishes on my face, mostly around the mouth area & I'm still recovering from a few on my neck. Although Clearasil fash wash & Clearasil spot cream does wonders, I just can't seem to get my blemishes to stay away once they've gone. Sometimes, they're small, other times they're big & sometimes painful. I've already visited my doctor & he assures me it's nothing serious, like acne or a skin disease. Just when I get really happy as my blemishes are finally disappearing after my period, it's not long before they start up again when my next one is due. Now, I am getting blemish scars & am forced to wear my make-up every single day. I have been late to work a few times because I have refused to go without first applying my make-up & I've not been swimming as much as I used to.
I am now DESPERATE for help. Please!

What's Proactive? Is it a yogurt or a cream?

Sounds like hormonal acne - a good place to go for acne tips is www.acne.org. They have a message board with amazing users who are very supportive. One trick I learned recently is to take 2 Aleeve a day (one in the morning, one at night) starting a few days before you get your period. It's an anti-inflammatory (to help keep inflamed acne down) and the girls on the acne.org board swear by it. I haven't tried it yet, but will this month.

Go to a Dermatologist. A Dermatologist can give you stronger medication to apply to your blemishes and make other recommendations. You don't need to suffer.
(Proactive is an acne treatment that is advertised on TV. You can find it by doing an internet search.)

SPEAK WITH YOUR FAMILY DOCTOR. YOU WILL PROBABLY BE REFERRED TO A DERMATOLOGIST FOR YOUR BREAK-OUTS AND A THERAPIST TO HELP YOU COPE WITH ESTEEM ISSUES THAT SEEM TO GO HAND-IN-HAND. I WISH YOU WELL.
