Hi everyone.
New here to the forum, I have been diagnosed for 5 odd years and have had a part of my small bowel removed.
Since then im on Pentasa which leads me to my problem...
I'm 27 and am well beyond my teenage ache years but in the last 6 months my face, upper arms and the top of my back have been getting lots of spots and ache appearing.
I use several skin cream products like Freederm and a face scrub to help but my face in particular is just covered and looks very patchy with red areas.
I get spots just come up randomly all the time and I don't know what to do?
I (sorry for the detail) have to pop them etc and as the days pass my face looks more like a pizza than a human face and it's really affecting my confidence at work and socially.
Has anyone got any advice as to how to address the problem? I was on steroids a few weeks back and my skin was fine (had to go on due to a relapse) but since coming off and im back to just pentasa its getting worse.
am i using the right products or can I do more?
thanks in advance guys appreciate any replies.
Thanks
Vinny
