Spot treatment for acne

[blackberry75]

I just switched birth control pills and have started getting pimples. Not all over, but around my nose and mouth. I was wondering if anyone knew of a gentle spot treatment I can use. Clearasil and some others I've tired burn when I put them on and I'm left with red marks when the pimple goes away.
Suggestions?

Nothing I've tried have helped so I can't give you any tips. I'm on antibiotics now and it started to look a bit better but yesterday I woke up with spots again.
Anyone?

I suggest you talk to your doctor and find out if they can change your pill, as some doctors even put people on the pill just to help with their skin problems, so if you mention that your pill is having an effect on your skin, they could well be able to prescribe a different one for you which will help.
Also, product-wise, Simple is a range I know of for sensitive skin, and although I've not tried it myself, it is meant to be very good.

I like Burts Bees Herbal Blemish Stick.
It's actually a small roll-on bottle, it has tea tree, juniper, and eucalyptus oil (among other things).

Slather on OXY 2.5 every night- even on the areas that aren't broken out at the moment. Benzoyl Peroxide prevents new blemishes and kills the bacteria in existing blemishes. Also, check this site- very helpful! www.acne.org ...and click on MESSAGE BOARDS also
