"40 yrs old &amp; last year tried the progesterone only pill for just 5 months (ceased that pill 4 months ago) but ever since my once near perfect skin has been plagued by constant hormonal spots.  the doctor prescribed duac &amp; said it could cause redness &amp; drying.  i used this for 2 nights only, last monday &amp; tuesday, applying just a very thin layer to all areas affected by spots as per the directions. by wednesday afternoon my skin had started going pink &amp; itchy so i didn&#039;t use it again.  woke up thursday morning with red, itchy, burning patches all over, like port stain birthmarks, &amp; it is still driving me crazy now, trying not to scratch, using moisturisers but to no joy - 5 days it has been like this, wish i had not used it."
