Hey guys im a 16year old female and i have moderate acne last year i had severe hormonal acne on my chin and jaw line and ate pork chops and hot Cheetos almost every day, i was put on monocycline and it cleared up. I started eating clean and working out but 2 months ago i started braking out with whiteheads and sometimes cystic acne (but rare) i started taking vitamin A 8,000iu 2together 2x a day, and it seems to make my face brighter but its been causing more whiteheads or am i just purging? Or can it be my gut hasn't recovered? Please help and also any good hyperpigmentation products any of you recommended?
Supplements/medications are a frequent culprit of acne localized near the jawline. 16,000 IU of vitamin A daily is a pretty high dosage, so it couldbe having an adverse effect. As for hyperpigmentation treatments, a doctor's prescription would be the way to go. I've been using hydroquinone since it's one of the only known OTC choices and it's done pretty much nothing for my leftover red marks, and generally has a lot of negative reception in general.
