Really bad spots where hair grows

Basically, i have loads of spots only:

Around my sideburns area, hairline leading up to face
Above my lip (moustache area) (looads there.)
on chin

Other than that, i'm completely free.

I have noticed a link between hair and spots..so a few weeks ago i shaved off my weak moustache (i'm blonde, so the hair isnt noticeable) ignoring the spots. the spots got worse.

now there just kinda like..popping up all the time above the lip and on the chin mainly. ..help?

Well, it seems to me that obviously where your hair is growing, there is being a build up of oil in your pores which is causing spots. Obviously, sweat also plays a big part where those hair pores are, which is probably the main thing which isn't doing you any favours. This is why you're getting spots around above your lips

If I was you, I'd try using an oil free fash wash twice a day which aims to basically declog your pores, and then apply an oil free moisturiser (NOT LOTS OF IT!) but just a little bit to rehydrate the skin, because dry skin can also cause spots!

I also sometimes use these wipes (basically grease proof paper would do) and you just rub it over your face and you can see how much oil will come off. Hopefully that will work!

It sounds to me like folliculitis. Basically your hair follicles get inflamed or infected, thus leading to spots. It's not that uncommon so don't worry :smile:

Try looking it up somewhere, here's a starting point:

Btw I used to get those on my legs after waxing, I found that when I didn't exfoliate I got ingrown hairs.
Hope i was of some help!

If it is really bad you can get prescribed some treatments

in my experience (although i dnt suffer from bad spots my mums a GP) the best are

Oxytetracycline
and
Aknemycin Plus

The former is a tablet antibiotic the latter is a dab on treatment heralded to be equal to antibiotics. They will both solve things relativley quickly.

I think you should try some of Clinique mens products. Just to your local department store and find the Clinique counter just ask for products that can help your problems with sports. I am sure they will be able to help you. With a skin routine, that can help you to get rid of your skin problems.

no, it wont be solved quickly. folliculitis is notoriously hard to treat.
