I am 40 and went yougth, life always with acne it stopped when I took the pill then I put in an IUD and the acne started again.
I went to OB, Internal medicine, Naturopath, was tested for vitamins, hormone levels and all. No major problem was found! Doc said heredity or stress.
Yes I was very stressed! I was online all the time researching the subject!

I after some observations and after online research, found that some pills increase the potassium level in your system. Also some antibiotics do the same! And all the medicine that are out there anti androgenic (androgen hormones increase acne) are somehow increasing the potassium level in your system too. (Saw Palmetto and other diuretic)
I guess when you start the pill you system get used to a higher level of potassium when you stop the pill your system is in chock has less potassium and the acne start again. Only by increasing the potassium level in your body in a different way helps.
What I observed on myself is that a diet very rich in potassium 1 avocado and 1 Gatorade a day has really helped clear my acne.
I found that a teaspoon of blackstrap molasses a day work too but it taste bad!
It took a month but it did happen for me. It is far from being perfect but it is better!
It is my 2cts! May be it is a coincidence but I needed to share it! It might help some of you! I know everyone said it is not diet related but???
Of course high potassium is dangerous! Don’t overdo it! But also so simple and no pharmaceutical company want that kind of remedy that is in everyone hands!
I was always convince that it is hormonal for me!

Let me know what you think!

So, its been a while since you posted this, but I was wondering- have you kept up with the high potassium diet and if so, it is still working?
