Red Spot On Face Persisting For Months

[UltraSuperior]

I've had this red spot on my face for over 6 months now. I assumed it was acne and it'll go away but it just won't. I'll be stuck with it permanently if I don't do something.

My skin is highly sensitive and acne prone in general at 23(male). But this is a weird red spot that itches sometimes. See picture.

Does anyone know what it is and what I can do? I'd feel a bit silly going to the GP for this.

I don't know if it's related but it popped up when I started taking multiple grams of vit C daily (ascorbic acid).

Check in with your local spa or beauty store. An esthetician can inspect it for you.

I wouldn't know where to find this or how to look for a "beauty store". Might as well just go to a dr. then or not?

You can go to the doctor but it might be easier to check with a female friend for the closest spa. Just Google facial spa otherwise.

Low copper perhaps? Vitamin c can drove copper down quite quickly. As can fructose. My skin always looks a lot better when i have decent amounts of copper in my diet.

Interesting. Definitely possible. I'll try eating some nuts and dark chocolate but doubt it'll disappear.

Green olives are a very easy way to top up copper levels
