Uhh break outs any advise?
I don't have it bad enough to go on a hardcore acne medication, but a woman from my church told me she took accutane and her acne never came back. I am so sick of dealing with acne I am thinking about asking my doctor about it. I don't care if I have to take a pregnancy test for the months I am on it.
I just bought a new nuetrogena face wash set it comes in orange containers, its the fight and fade gel, 8 hour face lotion, foam fash wash, and fight and fade toner. I am going to use it until it is gone (something I have never done with a face wash) and see if my skin adapts and it works. So far it does reduce the redness.
It really wouldn't look as bad if I didn't have an unusual skin tone, some of my old acne marks are pinkish and some are brownish or darker in tone. I dunno why but I have weird pigmentation, I am Italian and Indian. My skin probably sounds like I look like beetle-juice right now lol, but it isn't horrible, just horrible to me.
I really cannot seem to gain control of it, I just recently started breaking out in the summer and it hasn't stopped. I am 21 and my doctor said I am just a late bloomer… (I really miss my un-bloomed skin) lol.
Does anyone have any medical advice, perhaps you experienced the same mild hormonal acne?
I also read online that dieting and loosing weight can improve acne. I am considered thin but I could stand to loose 3-5 pounds. I don't drink soda or non-100% juice, I really can't stand sweets and cakes that much, I am also a vegetarian. I avoid dairy if I can aswell. So it is clearly not a diet issue.
My mom said it is probably because I am young and have reached the fertile peck most women reach at one point in their lives. However, acne does not run in my family and I doubt I am the only family member so fertile my face proudly expresses it.
Help, advise, anything…

If you can…go with accutane. I only got random zits on my forehead and chin…and some blackhead spots. Also some greasy issues. They put me on it….4 months later I don't have a single zit…no grease or dryness…no blackheads…nothing. And I didn't have serious acne to start with. Just don't get preggo…they go crazy over that. I think the baby will come out with like 3 heads or something haha
Acne despite the common belief doesn't have to do with diet, but genetics and a few other factors like exercising for some people (kidney releases things that promote it). I actually use prescription acne medications even though I only get like a few pimples when it comes to finals week and sometimes when exercising alot (i find that it works better/faster and I have dual medical insurances so I pay like $10 bucks from what would be a $250 prescription) , other than that my skin is basically always acne free.
Birth Control does affect your body very much. My sister takes birth control she's 22. She's taken some high quality acne medication and it didn't work. She bought a bottle of 100% pure aloe vera juice and put on her face and her acnehas started to completely clear up. I have horrible bacne and have tried lots of stuff. I used the aloe vera on by back and it started clearing up. So i'd say try that. Hope this helps! Source(s): Family experienceSelf experience
I use to have really bad cystic acne due to hormonal issues. I tried everything, all drugstore brands Murad, clinique, and finally proactive which helps me. First of all stay away from over processed food, it has too many chemicals and preservatives that can be causing this problem. Your liver is a filter, if the filter is not filtering toxins it will show up sooner or later on your skin. Your liver filters and purifies the blood which balances the hormones. Drink lots of water and change your pillowcase often. Don't touch your face and wash your hands when you wash your face. Also artificial and synthetic fragrances clog your pores as well as dyes. Also make sure you are not using makeup with Talc, Bismuth Oxychlorid or paraffin ( mineral oil) Which has been know to cause cystic acne. I went on a detox diet to clean my liver and my face cleared up like a dream. Also watch your stress level, that can be causing your acne. Also drinking lots of caffeine tells your body that you are stress and acne can sometimes be formed. I hope that helps, I have been acne free ever since and so has my cousin.
