[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote] Diet.  No one wants to hear this.  If you were truly worn down by this, you'd work through an elimination diet.  A real elimination diet, not one where you cut out one food or another for 4-5 days.  You need to cut out all dairy, all sugar, all wheat, all soy, all alcohol, etc for a full month.  Then and only then, you should add back each one of those - ONE at a time.  See what is breaking you out.

There are entire parts of the world where acne isn't really a thing.  I had acne for years, including acne that behaved similar to yours (got better during pregnancy) but wasn't linked to my menstrual cycles, and antibiotics somewhat worked.  It was still diet.  Your diet drives your hormonal balance.

I started with the "clear skin forever" diet.  There is some paid version online, but you can find the general gist of it online without having to pay.

As it turned out, dairy was doing my skin in.  [/quote]

That's really interesting about how acne ranges by country. Here is a study that does appear to support that: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamadermatology/fullarticle/479093[/quote]

Thanks for this link! For you, does the type of dairy matter? I sometimes have have GI trouble with dairy, and go through spells where I have to give up soft cheeses, milk and I've cream, but generally eating yogurt and hard cheeses is okay. I'm wondering if there's an acne connection as well, or if it's likely all dairy.[/quote]
