First thing that came to mind when you mentioned you were on antibiotics and then you said you're on birth control pills is a Candida overgrowth. Are you having issues with fatigue, brain fog, a white...

Oh no, don't pop it. I know it's tempting. Cysts are more like an infection that affects the pores around it and if you squeeze it, it can make it worse. Keep up with any treatments you're using on it...

Sounds like your skin is reacting to the bp. Mine is the same way, bp dries the living crap out of my skin, irritates it like no other, while my acne just sits there unchanged. Salicylic acid and lact...

Does it tingle/itch at all? It might be a good idea to stop touching or squeezing it. That will just make the swelling worse and make it take longer to heal. Witch hazel might help dry it out without...

Oh man, do I know how you feel. I started getting acne when I was 13. At around 15 years old, it got so bad, I had it all over my chest and back, as well as on my face. I had some friends who would co...

A little Neosporin and covering with a bandaid at night helps me when I have spots like that. Try to keep it moist so you're not tempted to pick at it again.

If it's something you're sensitive to, absolutely. Have you eaten it before or is it new to your diet? Another thing to consider, if you're female, is where you are in your cycle. I know I've thought ...

What does your usual meal plan/grocery list look like? The PCOS diet should be anything but bland and you shouldn't be feeling like your starving, either. It looks pretty similar to Autoimmune Paleo.

If it were me, I would just splash my face with cool water to remove sweat and save the cleansers for in the morning/at night, but it depends on your skin. Try it for a bit and see how your skin respo...

Next time you go grocery shopping, look for steam in bag quinoa. I got one the other day that was fantastic. It had quinoa, chickpeas, lentils and lots of spices. Put some salad greens in a container ...

Sounds good! Keep us updated on any changes. I'm doing AIP, skin is already looking better. What do you usually snack on in between meals?

Refined sugar, avocados and almonds.  Three of my favorite things.
