Have you been tested for lupus?

What you describe could be a skin infection, "white heads" or other skin problems.  You can try to use a benzoil peroxide topical cream or wash and see if that helps. Soap or acne preparations containing salicylic acid might also be of benefit. It might take several days or weeks for these options to help clear your skin up, if they are going to help.\n\nUnfortunatly, if it is some type of infection, there are few effective OTC medications avalible and might require an Rx antibiotic to resolve the problem. \n\nOnly a doctor or other medical professonal can diagnose this problem for you.  If it becomes worse, spreads, or is of concern to you please seek medical treatment.

At 50 I'm guessing the blemishes could be hormonally related.  Have you checked with a doctor in that respect?  \n\nOr, you may have a different kind of acne called rosacea, which needs to be treated more gently than regular acne.  If the blemishes are mostly on your forehead, cheeks, and chin, this could be the case. \n\nIf you indeed think it might be rosacea, use only unscented, mild skin products and cleansers, and avoid irritants such as extremely hot and cold water.

You need to use a moisturizer.  What is happening is that your glands are working over time because after you wash your face it isn't moist enough.  sounds backwards but try it.

food can be an issue! greasy foods such as pizza and fries-things like that. it boosts the oil in your skin that builds up and causes acne. alot of things can trigger acne. i know because i had it myself. washing your face to much signals the body that you are running low on oil, so then you get more! you don't want to wash your face more than twice a day! none of my family had acne either. what happens is the oil in your pores builds up and causes a plug. then your skin swells up and becomes red and sore. i would recomend a medication like proactive or acne free! i use proactive and i works like a charm... i used to have bad acne but now you can't see one blemish!

no never be afraid of what you look like. try spending a few hours in the sun and that will reduce your paleness and seem to make your feckles "dissappear". besides some guys like freckles ;)

Hello,\n\nI ran into a similar problem as well when I turned 23. I have tried tones of different products and have seen many doctors about it. What I found works best for me is to use a product called Dermaglow. I use the cleanser, the moisturizer and the serum. It is fairly prices, but well worth the money. \n\nI have sensitive skin, so I am not sure if you do as well. With sensitive skin you can try all these different products and you will still get irritation. I found using plain water worked better for me than most products. \n\nIf you don't mind spending a little extra money, the dermaglow really worked great for me. The other really important thing is after you get a good cleaning routine its important to get rid of all our old makeup. Find a foundation that is allergy tested, oil free and alcohol free. I use the clinique products. They work great.\n\nI hope this helps!

You should go to a dermatologist and get something topical to put on it.  You might also want to think of getting a really good skin care routine cleaning your face every morning and night with products that work with your skin.  That will help keep you from having such problems as much.

Sleep and lots of it. Our body needs to regenerate itself for the loss of energy. Studies shown that with proper rest, one can have healthier, glowing skin.\nAs for the second part of your question, it could be stress related. Learn to manage it by organizing your time & managing it better, allow yourself space to breathe.\nSeek help from a dermatologist if condition worsens. Keep face clean and dry. Avoid contact with dirty fingernails. Drink plenty of water.\nWe face worry no matter what the age. It's a fact of life. There're no shortcuts about it but to face it head on. Weigh your problems equally & learn to prioritise your "to-do list."\nHope this helped.

It's 50/50... It actually depends on your skin type. For instance my skin is sensitive; it made my face worse. My friend Kim has a normal face and it did wonders for her.

A rash, a pimple, irritation... I wouldn't know, you didn't specify where and how it looks exactly. Try showering everyday and washing that part of your skin thoroughly.

I like you! I think it's too bad you have to worry about your face. People should like you any way you are. We all have imperfections, some are just hidden.

I used to get irritated but I notice I cannot use shaving cream or hair removal cream. What I did was use lather soap and you have to make sure that your shaver is new and sharp.\nThen you will get a clean pussy to look at.

You probably have oily skin. They're called pores. Use oil free makeup and moisturizers. and wash your face twice a day. See a dermatologist if you start getting pimples.
