The Guide to Spots

Why have I got spots?

What can I do about them?

Why have I got spots?

Spots are caused by the over-activity of the glands in the skin that are responsible for the production of oil (sebum). That’s why you normally get spots and blackheads in areas where there are the most of these glands, like on your face, back, chest and shoulders. When there is an excess of sebum, skin pores can get blocked and inflamed – the result is red swollen spots that are often tender.

This over-activity of the oil glands is usually caused by sex hormone changes during puberty and sometimes during pregnancy too.

What can I do about them?

There are lots of treatments available for dealing with spots.

Most spot and acne treatments you can buy in pharmacies contain benzoyl peroxide. These work by drying out the skin and speeding up the shedding of the skin’s top layer. But the downside is that these treatments can irritate your skin, redden it and cause peeling. They can also bleach hair, clothing, towels and bedding. They can make your face glow when under ultraviolet light, the kind you get in clubs and bars - not a good look for anyone.

Don’t panic!

With the choice of treatments available now, there’s no need to give up or feel you have to live with spots. If you’ve tried something and it hasn’t helped, just try a different product! It's tempting, but try not to expect miracles overnight - you need to give your skin's repair process a chance to work.

Freederm gel is different from other spot treatments. It’s the only one of its kind with an anti-inflammatory that’s clinically proven to help get rid of inflamed red spots, and help stop new ones from even starting.
