Answer 5

I had the same problem for years. The problem is, picking and squeezing creates more spots :( boo!

My way to deal with it was to put my mirrors in a place where it is uncomfortable to squeeze and pick. IE above my bath so the only way to get to the mirror is to look at myself sideways on! My skin really cleared up after just a couple of weeks though not without neck ache!

The first thing you need to do is, every time you're about to walk over to a mirror, dont !!! just dont!! when your washing your face or hands have the lights turned off so that you are not tempted to seeing any of the spots and picking. Picking only makes it worse. You have to learn to ignore the spots and let them heal. Time heals everything, just be patient. Dont make it worse. ...
