Dealing with spots recurring in the same place, time and time again? Well, it may have something to do with a common vitamin deficiency, alongside the usual suspects.
"Deep cystic and and nodular spots sit further beneath the skin than most people realise," says Consultant Dermatologist, Dr Ellie Rashid, giving the context that oftentimes, the breakout was never "gone" in the first place. "The pore is a complex structure that extends deep into the skin. When a spot is squeezed, you might empty the surface, but the inflammation, oil and debris remain. The same pore then becomes inflamed a few weeks later."
