sometimes hitting the outer skin is half the battle. i used to have really bad acne when i was younger and they prescribed me a lot of creams that never worked. i heavily researched online and noticed how a diet plays a significant role in oily skin that results in breakouts. i decided to do a research study of my own and it involved a two week diet of using olive oil grease and other fatty foods. then the next two weeks i ate more vegetables (especially a & c) and also took 50 mg of zinc and cut the saturated fats within 40g and consumed 0 trans fats. the first two weeks i experienced break outs that only seemed to keep getting worse and worse. then the after the first week of eating healthier i noticed a halt and no new acne had sprung up or anything and most of my breakouts began to go away. at the end of the second week my skin had just about cleared up which was expected due to the vitamin a c and zinc helping reduce oily skin. in reality dermatology is a scam when many home remedies can be found in your home. hope this helps
my skin is breaking out all of a sudden? about 8 weeks ago i had clear looking skin but now i am getting acne. about 8 weeks ago i didn't really get acne and i haven't really changed my skin regimen much. the only thing i have added to my skin regimen is the kate somerville eradikate acne spot treatment which contains 10% of sulfur. i don't think this is what has been causing my acne since i was having acne before i bought this treatment thus why i bought it. i use clean sheets wash my face twice a day use exfoliator 2 a week use a face mask cleansers spot treatment. but i don't know what else to do
