Hello!
Haven't been on here for months.. I'm back because my acne has gotten much worse again.
I'm a 21 year old girl and have been suffering from acne for about 6 years now.
Last year I thought my acne was finally healing.. but no, it's getting more worse again day by day.
I used to didn't have any acne on my jawline and cheeks, now I'm covered with painfull big zits.
I tried to ignore it, but it's becoming impossible. A few days ago someone in my class gave me advise to use inderm.
She was only trying to help me, but still, it made me feel horrible.

I have allready tried alot of stuff from the doctor and the dermatologist, but nothing really helped.
I've also done a food allergy test and i have been avoiding the products I'm allergic to for almost a year, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I feel really bad.. I'm 21 and still covered in acne.
At the moment i use cleansing milk (can't use any facewash or scrub because I have very sensitive skin)
and hope in a jar because i have dry, flaky skin.
So it's not only the acne, but also the dryness, which makes my skin look even worse.

Does anyone have any advice for me?

oh by the way, my skin condition changes daily..
Some days my acne looks ok and like it's healing and the next day it can look really inflamed and itch.
I will upload pictures later.

Thanks!

Hi Rusko,

Could you tell us what your diet consists of?

Hi onefatalgoose,

My english isn't great, so excuse me if I type weird sentences haha.
I'm allergic to chocolate, porkmeat/fat, red peppers, lemons and black tea. So I avoid them all.
What I mostly eat and drink is
- bread
- eggs
- cheese
- chicken or beef every evening
- caffeine free coffee
- I bake everything I eat in olive oil
- potatoes
- vegetables
- candy (I'm addicted to liquorice)
- coca-cola or rivella (i drink softdrinks every day)

I don't think the condition of my acne gets worse because of my diet, because my acne was much better a half year ago and i didn't change it.
