This may be a long moan but....
I do suffer from spots and it actually makes me upset,
I take things to heart so this upsets me alot
They are around the forehead area and they are bright red,
I was my face morning and night and I have honestly tryed everything,
My skin is either very shiney or very dry
I would love really nice skin as my prom is coming up in a few months
I have had this problem for a while now
I just really want some help
If anybody has ANYTHING to say please reply
Thanks

How often do you wash your face? Are you using any products right?

[Hide.in.the.shadows]

Morning and night [I think its too much]
I use Clearasil face wash,
Hot water, Face wash, Cold water, Towel
Everytime I wah it though my face feels like a cracked rock,
Like Im wearing a face mask its very dry and sandpaper like,
I really don't know what to use

It sounds like you need a light moisturizer to use after washing your face, to correct the overdrying.  Have you talked to your Dr. or a dermatologist about your skin?  I know that overwashing and scrubbing can aggravate an acne condition, so a gentle cleanser seems to be best.  Emilbus, can you give this person more tips?

Thank you
I have gone to my Dr many times and they give me treatment which drys my skin even more,
But sunday night I washed my face and went to bed and woke up and it was not dry and not red only a few spots
I woke up and put cream on and its been fine all day
I just have a promlem with forehead spots and dry skin really I think

Just be sure to use a light moisturizer that won't clog your pores.  I'm glad that your face is doing better.

It's getting better I think
The moisturizer does the trick
Thank you so much
