I am 21 years old, male and suffering from cystic acne. From the last 5 months it went horribly wrong, I guess added too much of milk in my diet(three times a day). Before that my stomach went pretty bad for one month, after that i started taking milk heavily for body gain(i am skinny), but resulted in cystic acne. Since then changed my diet plan.
morning - apple cider vinegar with honey, 5 almonds, walnuts(been 7 days only)
lunch - after lunch aloe vera juice, sometimes apple cider vinegar or lemon juice with honey, 2 eggs
dinner - after lunch aloe vera juice ,2 eggs
It didnt help me well so i went to skin specialist and started taking isotretinoin and benzoyl peroxide(been 1 month). Benzoyl peroxide i resist most of the times, and instead apply aloe vera gel with tea tree oil. It is also not helping much, i still have big cystic acne under the skin.
NOW read that i need omega 3 acids so got flax seeds, but the question is SHOULD I INCLUDE IT IN MY DIET ??
many people reported that it breaks them out... i already have big ones, so please suggest what to add and what to not.
And i am thinking of stopping these medicines or should i wait more?

Are you on accutane? If you are, you shouldn't be using bp at the same time. In terms of flax, you have to test it out for yourself as what breaks someone else out may not have an effect on you and vice versa. What's your overall diet like. The more detail, the better.

@leelowe1
yes i am on accutane(isotretinoin).
My overall Indian diet is like this
morning - (empty stomach) apple cider vinegar with honey or aloe vera juice with honey, 5 almonds , 5 walnuts
i am in hostel so for breakfast i have every day something different... indian dishes. like parantha( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paratha) , oats, sprouts , 3 bananas.

lunch - Indian vegetable dishes, dal (pulses) ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dal ) , white rice, 2 eggs.
lemon juice or apple cider vinegarwith honey sometimes

dinner - almost same... sometimes some special dish is there for dessert.
after dinner i take aloe vera juice with honey and ofcourse isotretinoin tablets

can eggs and chicken causes cystic acne?
also i am skinny and want to gain fat.. is apple cider vinegar preventing that?
