Beauty Tips For Body Care
I never had any problems with my skin until I was in my mid twenties. Out of nowhere one day a lump erupted on my forehead and grew to the size of a 10p piece. It stayed there for eight months (knocking my confidence each day, it was literally like a third eye) until it was, finally, surgically removed. This it seems started a chain of events for my skin.I don't get conventional spots anymore, just whiteheads it seems. Applying pressure or squeezing any part of my face brings white dots to the surface, it seems like every pore on my face is clogged. At first it was only every few months, but now every few weeks I feel a pain somewhere on my face and within 24 hours a large painful lump develops. These stay for weeks, sometimes months. They are huge, about the size of a 5p with swelling to boot. Occasionally they will burst expelling a shocking amount of disgustingness, sometimes they just subside and remain as hard masses under the skin. Either way they scar, terribly. Deep boxcar type scars. Today I have woken up with one along my left eye socket. Before I go into the treatments I've tried, I do wear make up. Yes I'm aware this doesn't help, but I have crippling anxieties about my appearance which have been there since early adolescents. I haven't left the house without make up in over 20 years, and I feel deeply uncomfortable even sitting around my mother or husband completely bare faced. However I do cleanse and wash my face every morning and evening, I've altered the make up I use to eliminate as much pore clogging and excess oil as I can and I use clay face masks twice a week. I ensure all the products I use contain salycilic acid and I try to stay away from moisturisers.My doctor, for a long time, prescribed fluclolaxcillin when I had eruptions but I don't think this works anymore. I've used duac gel which I think reduces the swelling but doesn't eliminate the problem. More recently I was prescribed tablets (I can't remember the name?? Ly.... hard something..). Within a few days of taking them my back and torso erupted with small hard lumps (spots? Whiteheads??) and I have never suffered with these areas before. It did little for the problems in my face, I thought, and just made my skin feel rubbery or waxy. I stopped after the first six weeks, and the skin on my back and torso are returning to normal. I've tried hydrocolloid bandages with varying success. I had two simultaneous eruptions: one on my jaw, one on my cheek. After using, duac, the capsules and warm compresses for over two months on them, I used the hydrocolloid bandages. The cyst(?) on my jawline came to a head and drained within 24 hours, the one on my cheek is still there but under the skin. I'm at my wits end. Already the lump I woke up with has swollen, the underneath of my eye is all puffy and I can see it in my line of sight. I don't have money for a dermatologist (these are hard to come by in the uk unless referred to by a gp where you have to wait months, or pay privately) and I've exhausted every home remedy I can.PLEASE can someone offer some advice, my confidence is running on empty.
