Ok we are on a forum - none of you can see my ugly mush...

So almost every day I wake up with a blocked nose, quite often I am snotty (ew) during the day, sometimes it clears sometimes it just gives me a headache. I have been like this for ages now.

More recently I seem to be getting loads of spots on my body, by spots I mean white heads like the ones you might get as a teenage face, but just one on my body, like on my arm, chest, belly. I reguarlly go to the gym so I am showering sometimes twice a day, could that be it?

Are these two linked?

GP suggests I am being a hyprocondriac without saying so - as generally otherwise I am quite well.

It'll take you a good few hours! hehe

I don't think showering 2x per day would cause a lot of spots. Far from it. May be worth doing an allergy test and seeing if that shows anything. Failing that, perhaps an ENT specialist for the sinus stuff, and a dermatologist for the skin stuff! I'd certainly consider allergy test though.

probably some kind of allergy - changed your soap, got pets, something new in your environment - take antihistamines for a few days and see if things improve. if they do, thats probably it.
