can any 1 help me on spots?

my wife is 40 and her problem is she has a lot of spots and they leave marks can any body advise me on what to buy can any 1 help me on spots?
Consult a dermatologist... can any 1 help me on spots?
I would definatly advise for her to see a doctor, i had problem skin and nothing over the counter worked, toothpaste, tea tree everything dried my skin and made it a whole lot worse!





The doctor gave me antibiotics after trying all the different creams and lotions. they have worked great!





I also use Neutrogena face wash, it dries the spots good without drying my skin!





Also, i use an asprin mask, i just add a tiny bit of warm water to an uncoated asprin and add it to the areas where i have spots, leave it for about half hour and then wash it off.. works wonders!





Hope this helps
Spots at 40 are not, in many ways, like teen spots and generally need to be treated differently - teens can get away with using much cheaper/harsher products in their skin!





Are these spots new or has she always had a problem with breakouts? If they're new she should see the doctor as there's a chance this could be acne rosacea, which is very different from teen acne, and needs medical treatment. Occasionally spots can also be a sign of hormone disruption or other medical conditions so she needs to have these eliminated.





Firstly, we need to look at what she's using to clean and moisturise her skin. It's vital that it's nothing harsh or which contains products which cause more problems.





I'd strongly recommend Liz Earle's Clean and Polish and moisturiser (available from QVCuk.com -it's the cheapest there). Molton Brown's face wash is also very good indeed. These aren't the cheapest, but they last longer than cheaper stuff as they're more concentrated and don't have the chemical nasties in that can cause irritation and spots





The best thing you can dab on spots is tea tree oil - the most readily available is the Australian Bodycare one (from Superdrug among other places). Don't buy this from anywhere random - there are many instances of the oil being adulterated with stuff you really wouldn't want on your face.





Other treatments I've found work on most people are Origins Clear Improvement and Out of Trouble face masks. You can use these all over the face, if you have a lot of spots, or just on spotty areas. Once you've tried them a few times and are clear you're not sensitive to them, you can actually leave them on a lot longer than it says on the pack for enhanced effects.





A lot of people suggest toothpaste. That's fine for young/strong skin, but can burn and leave scarring on more mature skin. I'm also 'more mature' and have been known to dab toothpaste on a spot in an emergency (it has to be the chalky kind, not the clear gel), but I would only suggest doing if it's a big pimple and you really have to get rid of it before a big night out!





For the marks left by spots, Decleor's Gel Prolagene is a bit of a miracle worker for all kinds of scarring - and for those of us at an age when the skin might be slackening a bit, it also works on that too. For scarring try and apply 4 times a day. It will take a couple of months to work - the older the scar the longer it will take. But the good news is that it won't make existing spots any worse.






Get some tea tree oil and put a drop on them before you go to bed it should work really well, but be really careful not to get it in your eyes! your eyes may sting a bit of you put it near them. but you can water the tea tree oil down a bit.
drink plenty plenty plenty (well over the recommended 2l a day) of water.





avoid eating greasy food (chocolate included...) in excess





Eat your 5 fruit and veg a day.





And you will see the first result within 5 days.





PS: Use a PH neutral soap like dove to wash.
Don't buy anything with soap in it, it will dry her face and make it more oily and she will get more spots. Buy products with fruit acids in. She must never go to sleep with make up on.
Toothpaste.





It's not said to be rude. Toothpaste dries out the spots and stops them before they get to the stage if scaring.





hope i helped
