    Default Exams...stress...the usual.

    Hello all

    Hope everyone is well...

    I haven't visited for quite a while as I have been enjoying very calm skin for the past several months! I had an IPL in Nov' 2009 and another in Jan '10 with Dr. Crouch, and I think they have been very beneficial, combined with good skincare and a very relaxed state of mind...... HOWEVER (!)

    The Easter holiday has just finished. I am now back at uni and it's approaching exam time (finals ). My face has gone a bit crazy, presumably with stress because I am really starting to feel it! I am pretty pink on the cheeks and have lots of little pimply bumps, which I rarely get. My nose has started flushing at night, and those horrible little capillaries are standing up too. It's not fair!! To make matters worse I have just met a new special someone and am very keen to impress! Sod's law, huh. When I looked good I couldn't find anyone I was interested in!


    I've been off antibiotics for a couple of months now. Do you think I should go to the GP and request another course? I can't use topicals as I'm too sensitive. I always feel stupid going to the GP because I usually have makeup on, or it magically clears itself up especially for my appointment, so I always think they are thinking..... the girl is insane... and will say no!

    Also, is anyone else struggling with exam season? Problems with the sunny weather? Etc..

    Hi Helena
    I would try a course of antibiotics while you are having this outbreak. Just make sure to add probiotics while you are taking these.
    I would also go to the doctor sans makeup so he sees what you are talking about. Or else remove the makeup in his office at least.

    Good luck with exams!! And with your new relationship!

    Best,
    Melissa

    ps I am moving this to diet and lifestyle...hope you don't mind

    Yup. My nose flushed all week and went calm today two hours after my last exam. Smallish capillary on the front of my nose singin' this tune all day:


    Good luck with exams & special someone.
