'Effective' spot treatment

Oh wow, that sounds horrible :S Yeah, my case isn't that extreme.

I did consider a few times just not bothering because (as you say) they're hardly uncommon in teenagers, but I did still want to do something to stop it from becoming too bad aha.

It wasn't nice, she got bullied because of it too, horrible to see her like that. She's so much happier now, it's so nice! It's horrible having a physical problem because people do look, but yeah. Just make sure you eat well, drink water and wash your face regularly and it shouldn't be too bad

The NHS seem to give out roaccutane which is known to give really bad side effects, there was a documentary about it. Though there is no evidence it causes this there have been lots of suicide cases when taking this drug. But is the last option given by the NHS.

She was never on that, just strong antibiotics but yeah I just don't think it's worth it! The NHS won't spring for the slightly more expensive or experimental treatments.
