I feel so ugly at the moment. Im quite stressed because I have alot of work at the moment (Thank you GCSEs) I keep getting spots, and they get worse around my period. I use clearasil and face moisturiser morning and evening. I dont wear make-up but im so down about how im looking now, I dunno whether to start wearing it or just leave my skin without it. Its just making me depressed, as I feel short and fat with it as well. What can I do?!?!
Please Help

Its the stress thats probably causing them hun, but you're still young and its common for teenagers to get acne to some degree so don't get too worried about it, it they are rather red, try Witch Hazel concealer stick, you can buy it from Superdrug etc and it will reduce the redness, don't apply make-up no matter how tempting it is as it will only block your pores and make them worse, try taking some Zinc capsules you can also get these from Superdrug or similar shop, as Zinc is known to help promote healthy skin, make sure you get plently of sleep as well, if they continue to get worse well after you've completed your exams its best to then see your doctor who may have aa antibiotic that will work for you, but chances are once you feel unstressed they will reduce sgnificantly, good luck!

drink loads of water and try to get 7-8 hours sleep at night (this is when your skin repairs itself!), the stress caused by studies and work and the environment can play havoc with your skin. You haven't stated your age, I'm assuming that you're in your late teens, I believe that your skin will improve with age. . . its unlikely that you'll need such products at your age but clinique have a really good anti blemish soap is about £10 and works wonders its anti bacterial use it twice daily and follow with a light moisturiser.
I wouldn't recommend make up, foundation tends to block your pores which can cause more spots and blemishes in the long run. However, wearing a little mascara on the eye lashes can help accentuate your eyes drawing attention from other areas of your face.

Make-up will only clog up ur pores even more. I'm using a clinque spot treatment, its v good! its expensive. When ur going to bed, put sudocrem on the infected area. its clears it up really quickly too

use natural products. Don't stress to much it will just make it worse. Use good cleanser.

dont use make up anymore cause it'll destroy your already infected skin, eat lots of fruits and drink lots of water. dont stay up late cus it actually makes you fat
