About a month ago I started to break out, mostly with what looked like closed comedones. Before that it was nice and clear. I just used my salicylic acid wash and Lush tea tree toner. My skin has been fantastic for a long time except a couple pimples near my period. This recent disaster kinda happened while I was spending some time outside in the humid weather all day, sweating to death. By the end of those days my skin was oily as a bucket of slime and dry and flaky - yikes. Before I knew it, closed comedone hell. After using basic acne treatments (SA, BP, sulfur mask), with still no relief of the closed comedones, I began to research pityrosporum folliculitis. I™m pretty sure that™s what™s going on all over my cheeks and jaw. There is some inflamed hormonal acne which I attribute to high stress levels and androgen release.. (very recently reported a brutal rape incident to police and struggling with ptsd.. talking about it in detail being recorded was a nightmare.) The inflamed acne is actually getting better believe it or not. But the closed comedone bumps, are getting worse as if they™re spreading. I think it™s PF because it itches terribly. My acne has never itched before and as you can tell by my scarring, I™ve had acne before. Also for about 5 months or so my diet was mostly bread/yeast products. I was depressed during that time so ate comfort foods. Recently I™ve switched to gluten free and have been eating much healthier (mainly the paleo diet). I hear that eliminating bread and yeast foods can clear PF. Also using my tea tree toner again because I heard it™s an anti fungal, and provides immediate relief from the itching. Does this look like PF to you? If so, what™s the secrets to treating it? Please help. I™m isolating myself because I can™t stand being seen. It™s making me so depressed I™m fantasizing about suicide. I™m on an antidepressant right now.
