Question... :/

I, too, battle with a skin problem. I became quite down when I kept going back to the doctor over two or three years and he would try some new treatment that didn't work. Eventually I saw a different doctor in the practice and he decided to refer me to the consultant dermatologist at the local hospital. She was wonderful, very kind and very clear when she explained that I had a mixture of acne rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis. I burst into tears when she told me she could clear me up.

GPs may be brilliant diagnosticians, or not, but they are unlikely to be specialists in skin complaints beyond the everyday. See if you can get a referral.

Very best of luck to you. Skin problems can be very depressing.
