Hello everyone, i would appreciat it if someone could give me feedback on this, thanks
![smile.png]( ":)")
So i am a 16 year old male and i have had acne sinse the end of year 8, so i would of been 12 going on 13. I have moderate acne with sometimes cyst's appearing. I drink 4-5 pints of water a day. I don't drink fizzy drinks or eat sweets but i will have the one chocolate bar once in a while. I wash my face twice a day with hot and cold water ( I was told cleansing products just clog the skin so i don't use them) I don't pill, pop or squeeze my spots although i have in the past i have stop myself from doing this. So my forehead has white heads and my nose has a few black heads. My chin, above my mouth and around my nose have papules and pustules and my jaw line and next to my ears have whiteheads or papules i cant tell.
I live in England and the weather is nether sunny it is always cold/raining could this be causing my acne because when i go on holiday my acne seems to clear up after a couple of days. could this be the sea salt, chlorine in the pool or the sun doing something to my face that i didn't have before. when i am on holiday i am also away from technology, my pet dog, the air pollution from the pub across the road, diary products ( i don't have milk on holiday )
my acne doesn't stop me from enjoying life and going out with friends i tend to forget about it when i go out and ignore anyone who makes a comment on it. I would just like to know what is giving me acne i have been to the doctors about it and he just gave me antibiotics that had little effect and when i stopped taking them it came back worse. I just don't know what to do i fill like i have tried everything i can to help my skin and nothing seems to work.
If anyone could give me any help that would be well appreciated.
PS. i dont smoke or drink alcohole
