20 year old female acne since I was 11.

-areas of acne- face, neck, chest, back, bottom.
-tied- tetracycline, zineryt, benzoyl peroxide(still using), everything from boots!
-don't think it's hormonal as never been on the pill and only get 1 or 2 under skin spot on chin or neck at time of month - periods have always been regular same time every month since 11 years old.
-tried gluten/dairy free, vegan/veggie multivitamins etc,
-currently meat free for past 2 years, I eat a fresh wholesome diet 2 litres water a day and a optibac probiotic every morning.
-exercise 2-3x week for 30-45mins
-I'm not sure if this is connected, but for the past 2 years I have been experiencing hair breakage/loss and a lot of grey hairs- 4/5 my hair is dark brown)a week I have not died my hair in 5 years+ it's very thick and shiny and 'looks' healthy but I thought I would mention this and also the skin on the rest of my body like hands legs and feet is flaky dry.

any help/ tips appreciated, I'm not sure if this is acne or something else!

Hello there! Accutane might be an option for you. It will remove most of it during the treatment but there are a lot of side effects of it. Otherweise try natural products on your skin for a while and see if it changes. i personally have used aloe vera + tomato for a week and it worked well. Now I am trying out vaseline, been on it for two days and it is working good too! I hope the best for you :)
