Hey guys,sorry about the first post i've been lurking on this site for a while and just can't find a cure to my acne cyst so far.

so lately i notice that i've been breaking out alot. I started taking apple cider vinegar and it actually helped with forehead acne but i still get cystic cheek acne. i've been using this regimen for about 2 weeks now and i don't notice much. Only very dry and flaky skin, alot of skin pigmentation dots where the cystic use to be and also mini pimple on top of that. I was just wondering should i still continue this regimen or should i replace my items with something else?

my daily routine for: morning - benzac daily facial liquid cleanser

apple cider vinegar to tone it up

then moisturize with cetaphil moisturizing cream

i do the same for my night routine but after spreading benzoyl peroxide onto my face i don't moisturize.

 

i also want to mention that i'm taking protein shakes, creatine and orange triad multi-vitamin (stop taking multivitamin for now)

I was hoping someone out there knows what this lump is, it solid as a rock and appears as though its trying to make its way out but cannot fit.

Should i be concerned or will it go away on its own? I was also wondering if its a good idea to pierce it with a needle?

any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I just wanted to warn you to be careful with supplements and protein shakes because it has a big impact on your skin. I have hormonal acne, but every time i'd take a protein shake after my work out i'd get even more pimples the next day. I knew it wasn't help my skin at all...

I do think you should continue your routine even if acne clears up, continue to prevent new breakouts!!! Apple cidar vinegar is awesome, I mix it with green clay to do a facial every teo days and my skin feels so smooth! I use Neutrogena orange labelled products and it helps alot. My guy friend had real bad acne and when he started using Neutrogena it took about 6 months to be almost 100% clear. Try to avoid products with lots of perfume in them and wash your pillow case every second day!

yeah i've been trying this routine for 2 weeks now i keep seeing new small breakouts on my cheeks (idk if you can see it in the pic though). The changes i will do from today is stop drinking protein shakes and change pillow case every 2 days. this was the worst breakout i ever had :(((

Did you notice the break outs after taking the protein shakes? I'm pretty sure it's the cause of it. Follow your routine morning and night which is perfect! I know how you feel! Acne really ruins self esteem. Try not to to let it control how you feel, it will end up clearing up, just have to be patient!!!

For sure stop the protein shakes and better yet try the starch solution diet by dr. Mcdouggall. You can look it up online, basically it's a vegan high carb low fat diet. The only thing that gave me clear, gorgeous skin.
