It's all over my face, I don't like chocolate a lot so I don't eat that at all and I wash my face thoroughly twice a day and I take some tablets. I've been using them for 4 months now. Why won't I grow out of them, I'm sick of having ugly bumps over my face and dotty blackheads and my friends have gorgeous clear skin. -annoyed grunt-

That's tasty

Kay, you can burst blackheads.
Try using 4 parts of witch hazel 1 part lemon juice to clean your face twice or even once a day. Drink LOTS of water, avoid stress.
Boots actually sell their own brand of products that really help, I forgot the name but they are witch hazel and tea tree oil. Light green box.
I used to have a few spots, but now my skin is clear. :)
Also try working out every day, this gets rid of stress.
Don't touch your face, or pop your spots- unless they are blackheads.

I've never popped, I'm too scared. I might do the really visible black heads later but I'm worried about scars. Thanks!

Some suggestions:
A WITCH STICK :D (They're really good)
If its a spit like your nose just grab your hole nose and squeeze lol might make some puss come out cause the word bumpy makes it sound like lots of little spots.
and just get some basic spot wipes or something to keep your skin clear, ooh and also if you put make up on straight after a shower that can cause spots cause the open pours get filled so if you have to do that splash some cold water on your face first :)

I don't think I'll squeeze, bacteria could get into the open pores and cause more. But I really want them to go.

Then use a spot cleansing wipe after you squeeze

If there is visible spots etc. with puss inside, pick the head and squeeze it out. It's not good to have that poison in there, and that's the best way to help those type. Afterwards, wipe them with some srt of face cleanesing wipe to prevent bacterial problems etc.

Like said, there is a huge range of spot helpers out there, and the 'witch sticks' really are useful. Wee bit painful, but it's wort it in the long run!

Most spot creams for me make me gain more spots, try tea tree oil, drink lots of water and dont touch them :)

I got a scar once because i left a spot too long, so its important to pick them, if they have been their for a while and you are scared it would leave a scare use a replenishing wipe/cream untill the skin goes away.

I've suffered from really bad spots and so has my friend, she went on this pill, and they cleared up after quite a few months, it took a while though, so yours should if you keep using the tablets. But don't use too many products on your face, as it can aggravate them even more. I hope they clear up for you soon!:D
