I've suffered with acne since the age of 16. I've always tried to avoid doctors and their treatments as I don't believe they work. My brother had the same problem as I did and did the paleo diet causing his skin to clear up completely. So January this year I decided I was going to 100% put all my efforts into the paleo diet.
I've been on the diet now for a month and if anything my skin has got worse! I don't know why this is as I'm trying so hard. Especially when I'm telling my friends around me that it will work and all they can see is it's getting worse. I started to take a probiotic which is the stage when it got worse so I came off of it about a week and a half ago and i'm still recovering from it.
My cheeks feel itchy so I don't know whether this is some sort of an allergic reaction? I have cheated on the odd occasion we a tiny bit of rice here and a small glass of champagne here. But surely this shouldn't mean it should get worse?
The break out is on my cheeks, by my jaw line and now moving down my neck. I have also had a few appear on my back. I'm in a lot of pain as they are more like under the skin boils. I'm finding this so frustrating as I'm now 21 and I'm loosing all hope.
Please someone help me?
Thanks
