What Is The Reason For The Spots Appearing On The Skin?
Hi. I am 59yrs old. Menopaused many yrs ago. Fit and healthy. I eat fruits, esp, apples.., and go to gym regularly. I am on Tobolone for hot flushes and vaginal atrophy. (18 mths). Always had good complexion. I have never been a spotty face . However, in the last month or so, I have been getting a pimple each week. I apply a spot cream which has witch hazel. Why am I getting spots? How do I stop it? Thank you. Rosalind

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of spots appearing on the skin which is mainly due to hormonal changes and accumulation of sebum and debris in skin pores.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to
1) Exfoliate your skin once a week to remove the dead skin from your face.
2)Drink plenty of water.
3)Apply betnovate on spots twice a day for 2-3 days.
4) Take diet rich in fruits , green leafy vegetables and salad.
If condition doesn't start getting better in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotic course clindamycin. You should go for chemical peeling.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
