Help! I get a type of acne near the side of my nose/ cheek I already got three scars from it on my left side and now I got another two on the right side any clues what type of acne it is it feels itchy and warm and it always scars on it™s own. Any ideas? What triggers it is basically anything with sugar or dairy in it or any peanut butter or peanut butter alternative almond butter, wow butter, sunflower butter etc. Sometimes spicy food triggers it as well that™s why I thought I had rosacea. But rosacea doesn™t leave scars. I™m so tired..

Looks like regular acne to me, at least at first glance.

Eating low glycemic (keto) might help theoretically, like you're talking about. But it's hard to stay perfect that way.

Another thing you can do is to ice when you see any of these starting. Put ice in a plastic bag. Then hold it on there for 5 min, at least twice a day. Since these are scarring, you might want to try out the ZIIT method too.

Basically, scarring is inflammation that goes on and on, so anything that reduces inflammation can be your friend, like eating low glycemic, ice, lower stress (exercise helps).

Also, it's always good to get your hormone levels checked just to be sure it's all ok in that department. Your doc should be able to run blood tests fast and easy for that.
