Right GFM...great suggestion...I mean, aside from my distinct lack of sex life, I also happen to be a guy.

I assume you already knew that though, so I'll put your post down to sarcasm. Hmmm...wish i'd thought of that earlier.

OR go to your GP and ask for something, it may seem embaressing but it aint, sometimes this is serious, kids have killed emselves over spots so the Doc's dont treat it as a joke. And the stuff they give u is rock solid

So make haste!!

[Turtle]

Thanx monkey_boy. I don't think i'll commmit suicide over them - although i can understand why ppl would.

i've got a gf, so it don't matter too much newa <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">. But they do annoy me.

[Monkey_Boy]

yeah i know, they annoy us all, and i weren't saying that u were gonna top yourself over em. Bbut my point was that it means that docs do take it seriously cos for ages i wouldn't ses my gp cos i thought it'd be wasting her time but it aint, and now i'm clear as a bell

splendiferous stuff <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">

er...because i'm worth it...*ahem*

[Girl-From-Mars]

turtle, youd better not go on the pill and take antibiotics from the doc too, or it wont work and you'll end up getting pregnant!!

(yes i do know you're male btw <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"> )

Everyone says tea tree oil is good but it doesnt do anything when i get spots! I was going to recommend this thing thats really good from Superdrug that I use all the time but you don't have Superdrug in Switzerland do you ?

[dirty_harry]

well elisa, that because you dont beleive.

Before u put that on you've got to have the star of the devil painted on your chest in rats blood before j9's wacky solutions work.

[Turtle]

ROFLOL Harry. Yeah, but I'll try it newa. I'm getting a bit desperate - then I'll go to the doctor and see him for the first time in three years, then I'll get someone to get that thing from superdrug(whatever it may be)

Tea-tree oil is a scientifically proven anti-bacterial agent and is also probably the only anti-viral for many viruses.

Turtle, surely you know about the beneficial properties of tea-tree oil, coming from Oz?

Ahh...yes, so long as there are no follow up questions. <IMG alt="image" alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">

I've heard a bit about it, but never really used it. I guess when the shops re-open I'll get some, give it a try.
