I contracted a minor flu virus the other day. I developed these spots. They were hurting and really itching. Especially in he morning mid wake up when I was perspiring heavily.

I normally have clear combination skin.

When I get spots they are sometimes big and filled with blood and they hurt and they appear in the same places and take a long time to disappear, almost leaving marks.

I steamed my face several times which helped a lot.

Please tell me, what is the possible cause? I use Loreal products especially visible radiance although its for women of 40 plus or something and I am not that old.

What else can I use?

Thanks greatly

Not sure, but when I used a radiance "enhancing" product a few months ago I got some pretty sersious red bumps all over my cheeks. Try eliminating your beauty products one by one for like a week each and see if it clears up at all. Then you'll know what was doing it as opposed to stopping them all a once because then you'd have no idea. Also, make sure you wash out any sponges or anything you use to apply makeup, you should use disposable or just your fingers.
