Large white spots

I get large white spots but sometimes they’re oddly shaped and they're filled with horrible white stuff. I squeeze what I can but it still builds up. I also suffer with andenomyosis and fibroids, do you think the spot is hormone related. I still get one spot before my cycle starts and in general I think I have a good skincare routine but I can’t get rid of the white spot cyst things.

Re: Large white spots

Dear Chana,

Thank you for your question. I do not think they are hormone related. I wonder if they are folliculitis but you need a face to face consultation with your dermatologist or GP to confirm the diagnosis. You can read more about folliculitis and available treatments here: https://www.alexandroff.org.uk .

I hope this is helpful.
With Best Wishes,
