Mineral Water

I usually never break out on my nose or around that area, but for the past two weeks its been a daily thing, I know its happening from drinking mineral water ( whole foods brand, mountain valley, saratoga springs), i've tried all brands, and all brands are in glass bottles, however i cannot figure out why this could be happening, i even tested their ph and hardness levels, im totally stumped, i switched to glass bottled water because i wanted to stay away from the toxicity of plastic, but i can't figure out why it would make me break out so terribly on my nose and nose only, any info is appreciated.....

Food Intolerance

Im almost certain that food allergies are the cause of my mild acne, I want to take a alcat test, does anyone have any experience with this test, is there a better one out there, I know its expensive but if it gets rid of my food phobia that would be worth all the money in the world....any feedback is appreciated.

Curiosity

I've been taking B5 combined with Cysteine, 1.5 g b5 and 1 gram cysteine, for about 3 days now, i take it 500 mg each 3 times daily, I was wondering if anyone has tried this and if they saw improvement with acne and oily skin, I want to slow down my oily skin and get rid of some acne, but I don't want to megadose on B5, any input is appreciated.

Questions about Derm Regime

After trying to holistically and naturally clear my acne for years ( no luck for me ), I took the plunge and went to the derm for the first time, I have mild acne 1-3 new blackheads, whiteheads or pimples daily, He prescribed Duac and Sodium Sulfacetamide 10% with 5% sulfur cleansing cloths, he said use the cloths to wash your face twice daily, and apply the duac only at night, I personally am hesitant to use any med's ( dont even take tylenol), but this acne stuff has got me so stressed im most likely causing myself to break out and dont even know it, My question is has anyone used these pads and does anyone think i should just use the pads, or just the duac, or is it necessary to use both, I thought I would just use duac every other night, or just use pads at night, any insight is greatly appreciated, Thank You

Binge

Since I can never seem to figure out what's breaking me out I decided to let loose the other day and ate everything and anything- this is after a diet that has been so strict and extremely healthy- I ate Ice cream, greasy foods, donuts, cookies, chips, all kinds of tasty stuff that i haven't had in like a year, I figured if I breakout whatever, I breakout all the time anyway, at least now ill know the reason, amazingly my skin hasn't gotten any worse, If anything I think its gotten better, I've gone back to eating healthy again just because I like to be a healthy person, but I just figured I would post my findings. Im not trying to discredit the acne and diet relationship, because I truly believe the typical western diet is the reason for all the health problems amongst most americans, Im just looking for some feedback.
