    pimples help

    I have been getting pimples right below and behind my ear and it runs along my neck and jaw line since around November of last year. They come and go but don?t totally disappear. Sometimes there are just some whiteheads, but it becomes a large red spot that?s a little hard. It gives people the impression that I don?t wash but I do! I have an oily skin and it?s more oily on that part. Could that be it? Also, what facial wash can you recommend? Thanks.

    My GP told me that pimples around the jawline are in response to hormones. I tended to get a flare up in this area just before I got my period each month. The only thing that ended up helping mine is going on a particular brand of the pill which keeps the relevant hormones in check. Are you undergoing any treatment or change in your lie which may have changed your usual hormonal balance?

    Sometimes what appears to be pimples is more of a skin disorder. Do they come and go in the same area within a few days or is it the same spots hanging around long term.
    You might need to go to a chemist and get a cream for dermatitis or skin conditions if nothing else works. To have them hang around for so long sounds more like disorder, maybe see a dermatologist??
    Make sure you gave a good quality certified organic skin care you use. Often a cheaper product can cause alot of skin problems, including oily skin

    Yep. Having an oily face can really cause acne. Talk to a dermatologist and ask about a facial wash like Nivea Blue. Also, ask about an anti-acne cream or gel like cleocin-t. Very effective in getting rid of acne. They?re available in any local or online pharmacy. Hope this helps!
