I've just started a course of probiotics and vitamin supplements for my acne. Alongside this, I have dramatically changed my diet, cutting out dairy, wheat and sugar, with the advice and guidance of a nutritionist. However, it seems that may acne has become worse breaking out in white pimples over my face and a couple cystic spots. Is the theory that my skin could be 'detoxing' and readjusting to this new diet valid? Will it get worse before it gets better?
It could be that you're detoxing but there's no assurance since you might still be consuming foods you're allergic or intolerant to.
A lot of people breakout from ingesting soy products, nightshades such as tomatoes, eggplants, bell peppers, etc. Others react from grains.
Try to keep a skin diary, list down all the foods you eat and how your skin reacts.
