How to get rid of spots? +rep

when i was abit younger i had quite a few spots so i went to my gp and she subscribed me something called zineryt which contained zinc and i had to put it on instead of using a facial cleanser. i put it on and within around 5 days to a week most of my spots had gone and if they hadnt then they had lost all redness! it was amazing. i also got some anibiotics that help with spots and even though because of the prescriptions i dont have any spots anymore, i still take these everyday out of habit and to prevent spots. its really good and i think if you are worried you would try this.

hope that helped

I used to use Zineryt. Didn't work. So now I'm on Tetrasyl 300 tablets and Isotrex gel.

Nope it probably a main cause for spots tbh, as you wash out of natural stuff that keeps spots away. Just keep the cream on, or act your doctor for a stronger cream. Just don't wash your face with soap.

yeah, my first dose of zineryt was amazing but my second and other doses after that didnt work as well. i think it may have been the transition to it that worked well.
i use the tetrasyl 300 tablets! i think they work ok, but i suppose thats because zineryt worked so fast and tetrasyl 300 is a slow pacer tablet. how are you finding the tablets?
i havent heard of that gel, but a couple of months ago i was prescribed differin gel to put on after cleaning my face and i found it burnt my skin! -- it left red patches on the sides of my face and on my neck which took about a week to clear and were really hard to cover even with foundation and concealer. so yeah, veered away from that one, haha.

Tetrasyl is crap and it doesn't do anything haha. I've been on 'em about 3month now. Pfft maybe it's just me. I hardly eat junk etc either so yeah.

How many do you take and how often?

i take one a day, how about you? yeah, they dont seem to be doing anything really. however, as they are antibiotic they have prevented me from getting sick a few times, haha. i used to be really prone to tonsilitis before i took these and now i never get it like i did and ma' says its because i have loads of antibio in me, haha.
yeah, same. -- i hardly ever eat junk food so i dunno whats going on there.
