Hello. I am on Doxycycline course for about 6 months now, along with Vitamin D3, Zinc, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Vitamin B5, Selenium and Omega3 supplements. I also took Vitamina A retinol in the past.

I've changed my diet several times, with low result. I have tried the vegan diet for about a year, I was breaking out in the chin area and other.

Now, I eat meat again, same result.

What is safe to eat for acne prone skin? I have oily skin.

I usually eat: chicken, turkey, fish, vegetables and NO fruit(currently doing low carb)

I also AVOID: Dairy, legumes, sugar in any form, gluten, red meat and Oil of any type. I do NOT eat anything with salt, either.

I also drink only water(about 3-4 litres a day) and sleep enaugh.

I haven't took Accutane yet, however I'm scared of the side effects and besides that, I've read on this board that acne comes usually back even with Accutane.

I have a very strict hygiene, I've used salycylic acid face wash and now use a neem and turmeric soap by Himalaya. It dries up the skin, however, after 2 hours the oil on face is back. I've heared I should wash my face only with water, is that ok with oily skin??

I have like 3-4 pimples on my face on which I apply some antiacne cream.

I would like to know some advice about diet and about washing face only with water on oily skin!! Could the soap be the problem?? And... Are legumes okay for acne or not?

Thanks in advance.
