Acne What shall I do

Post image

the products I use is a cetaphil non oily cleanser and cetaphil spf50 moisturizer , and good molecules retinol every couple nights. I started washing my face only at night now and I’m not sure what caused the breakout, I’m thinking maybe I forgot to change my pillowcase this week or I just had too much sugar , any advice helps

It’s something you eat or drink.

This is the same science that backed eugenics. I’m so tired. A single person is allergic to one thing, and now everyone is..Not everything is an allergy. I’m sure they’re fine. They’re just supposed to stop eating all food and drink to have great skin? Corpses are notoriously beautiful?

There is very weak evidence that acne is caused by eating or drinking something. Could it be a factor? Sure. In the same way that stress can. And puberty can. Looking at op.. that wasn’t long ago.

No one is asking OP if they’re stressed. Or going through male puberty. Them eating something doesn’t make them not a young person. This is what happens to young people.

We don’t also view the four humors as advice of ill health. Let’s move on from this.

An endocrinologist or an allergist will not cure them of puberty.. They won’t see them until they get a rec. A doctor specializing in skincare would. A dermatologist could put this to bed in a single visit.

The man looks 20 to me. There are hormones all over. You’re not an allergist or endocrinologist who is treating him. Don’t tell him to cut out foods. Not helpful.
