All of my life, my skin has been nearly perfect. I've struggled with the occasional pimple or two, but they healed very quickly. This past summer I went through periods of starving myself and overexercising, and that's when it all went downhill. Early september I started getting random pimples (mostly on my cheeks, but also on my chin, hairline, and subclinical acne on forehead). I tried onexton, but my skin wouldn't respond to it or any other topical treatment. It takes weaks for a pimple to heal, it will come to a head and stay like that for days, and the red mark it leaves behind lasts forever, it seems.

Sometimes the pimples will even fill back up in the same spot. It's like my skin has completely lost its ability to heal. I've been knowingly anemic since last year, and I just recently started taking iron pills, do you think that could be part of it? I'm eating healthier now, although I ate complete junk all my life and had crystal clear skin. That's why I think there's an underlying problem. I also have constipation issues. I'm wondering if it could be stomach related as well. Any advice would be appreciated!
