Maybe this is going to sound obvious but I've noticed a correlation between sugar and breaking out. Last week someone gave us a 1 lb bag of jelly beans and I've been eating handfuls and guess what...inflamed spots! If I eat gummis or sugary candy same thing. I know I shouldn't eat it but I just want to point it out in case anybody was having the same issue.
For me avoiding dairy and sugar is important. I think I'm a sugar addict but I'm cutting down and am trying to drink green tea instead of juice and avoid candy and sweets. Anybody else have comments?
I've managed to keep my skin pretty clear in the last few years, but sugar ALWAYS= cysts for me. Last week was my birthday, so I went a bit crazy with birthday cake and the cookies my mom sent me. Yesterday I woke up with 9 huge cysts as a result. I'm kicking myself right now for it because my skin was doing so good.

wow that sucks!
Sugar has always given me a rush so its hard to stop. I hope your skin calms down.
sugar is the one thing i know for absolute sure gives me acne. especially soda. i usually completely avoid soda but a week ago i had a large coke three days in a row and the fourth day i had so many pimples, one was huge and cystic. ugh, so not worth it. i realize now i was on antibiotics from the dentist and found out you crave sugar when you are on those and that is also the worst thing to do while your on antibiotics; to eat a bunch of sugar. im on probiotics now.

ugh. I'm also giving up coffee for 2 weeks to see if it makes a difference. Pretty soon there will be no fun foods in my life!

I stupidly went off decent birth control pills last October. Now I have a different generic and I swear it's not the same. I feel like PMS all the time lately....
