hi there . i give up smoking eight an a half months ago now. yes i have spots too, i have been diagnosed with seboric dermatitis (sorry not sure of spelling) apparently it was connected to giving up the smokes, the dr said that smoking had kept it at bay. crazy but true! i now use nizaril cream twice daily and ketorine in my hair. im afraid there are many things that are brought on and out when you give up smoking and although they are very irritating i guess you have to weigh up the dangers of these longterm to the dangers of smoking and the illnesses that can cause longterm. i have often felt like going back on the smokes even though i no longer crave them just simply because i am angry at the spots, digestive problems, bowel problems and 2 stone weight gain that i now have but, then i realise that these problems will not automatically go by lighting up a ciggarette and ill just add the dangers of smoking to the list. i do feel that people should be informed and made more aware that giving up smoking is not without its own problems and then maybe we would be much more successful and ready for whatever may come our way . too many people are lead to believe that they are going to be 100% fit and healthy the second they stubb there last cig out.
