Ah! Well stress is another factor which is prone to bringing on spots, because it leads to inflammation throughout the body. Changing your diet to accommodative for more Omega 3 (found in oily Fish) and Nuts can help combat this, as well as the methods I already suggested. Tea Tree and Lavander essential oils when applied to the skin can help, if you'd rather not use an antibiotic cream. Also, when mixed with a carrier oil, you can use Geranium, Lemongrass and Cedarwood oils. I usually favour using Evening Primrose, Jojoba, Sesame, Sunflower and Rose Hip oils as carriers.
