I am 19 years old, female. I have had since I was 15 1/2. I used to have acne when i was 13 but i used a neutrogena scrub and it kept acne away for 2 years then it stopped working and came back and stayed at 15 1/2.

Since i have tried so many products at Walmart, i looked in holistic health ad how to cure it naturally since It seems that people that cure their acne naturally, it does not seem to come back. I believe that acne can be cured holistically with natural methods. I have done a dr natura cleanse for 2 months from june 2012-august 2012. I used the dr natura colonix for the first 30 days and colonix adn toxinout for the next thirty days. My acne had no change.

I researched more and thought i might need a candida cleanse. I REALLY love sweets and thought i might have a candida overgrowth. The only symptoms i had concerning candida was that i had acne, itchy skin, dark curcles under my eyes, painful cramping during periods and almost fainting during periods. I have never had oral thrush or any other sort of yeast infection now( I'm on a candida diet currently) or ever in my life.

Now i am currently on the candida diet and am experiencing die-off-sore throat, a runny nose, had slight headaches and a bit of muscle pain a few days ago but they are gone, nausea. I have been dairy and gluten free for two weeks, tomorrow, and the acne is still the same, Acne scars are still the same way, still breaking out in places i have never broken out before. I stopped eating sugar almosrt to weeks ago, tommorrow, but in the two weeks i have eaten fruit because at times i felt like i was going to pass out. It has been one day since i stopped eating fruit. I even stopped eating meat as i cannot afford to buy oraganic meat. I have eaten so much salads that i am losing an appetite to eat vegetables. Basically what i eat each day is, not in order:

organic free range eggs with raw butter

roasted sunflower seeds

brown rice cakes and coconut oil

oat bran and hemp milk with cinnamon

sometimes salad made of a spring mix with avocados, olive oil, and sea salt

kefir

raw cow's plain yogurt

many cups of water

sometimes brown rice

sometimes almonds

supplements i am taking is

50 mg of zinc picolinate

10,000IU of vitamin a

600 mg of milk thistle

55% of oil of oregano or 125 mg of grapefruit seed extract

500 mg of vitamin c

50mg of magnesium

125mg of vitamin b complex

100mcg of vitamin k

and 1000 mg of omega 3,6,9

My acne is all sore bumps that are painful and often have yellow heads of pus. I only wash my face once a day with a trader joe's tee tre oil soap bar because i have sensitive skin. Everyday it looks the same, scars and pimples. I change my pillowcase ever 4-5 days. When i danced i would wear a hat all the time now i dont wear the hat anymore, i have to clean it. I wash my hair with a kiss my face shampoo 2 times a week and condition my hair with coconut oil once a week. I have 5 birds but i do not barely put them near my face anymore.

I have looked into chinese face mapping and believe i do have hormonal acne since no matter what i do my jawline is perfectly clear and i do break more near my periods, it is the same. I have always have grouped breakout right above both sides of my temples and right in the middle of my forhead, sometimes i break out on my chin and i have a grouping of whiteheads on my chin.

I am getting annoyed with this candida diet as i am running out of things to eat, i dont exercise anymore becuase i have no energy so i just sleep and nap. If i move around more i will need to eat more and i am very low on money to buy organic food.

If anybody has any idea or ways of knowing what is causing my acne please reply, i dont know what to do next.

ps- i also have a little of folliculitis bumps on the skin near my genitals and sometimes on my scalp and i have gone to the doctor for it but she prescribed me some topical antibiotics and i didnt use it because i dod not want to destroy the flora in my gut since i am on a candida cleanse.
