i say slightly because i've been persistent as hell trying to clear my body of pimples, and it's worked. i figured out what was wrong with me. my hormones are imbalanced, and the birth control i was on wasn't helping, so i got on a different kind. i'm an 18 year old girl, but my hormone problems aren't normal, i often get really bad emotional and depressed and can't control it, and it just makes me break out. lately i've prevented that and tried to get myself in shape.
i drink at least two bottles of water a day, usually lemon water. i'm vegetarian, i avoid greasy foods as well. i'm super picky about that. i also exercise a lot. i eat a lot of fruits and veggies. so i'm healthy.
i have sensetive skin. i can't wear necklaces because they make me break out. almost every time i shave i get red bumps and my skin feels dry...i only use this aloe lotion i have, and i use hemp lotion..
i have no idea what i'm doing wrong. at this point i'm absolutely desperate. i got a topical by the name of erythromycin, and it helped a little. let me just say i'm super clean, i shower daily, and yes the topical has made the pimples on my face completely disappear BUT i still break out some on my chest and shoulders and upper back. i hate it. it's not cystic acne anymore, because my birth control has done a crazy good job at getting rid of those.....but i feel like it's something out of my control at this point....i want this to end, it's spring now and i am desperate, i just want my skin to be nice.
i think i should also add that my stomach has started getting really faint pinples/rashes since i started my new birth control. i also have a recently pierced belly button, which my body tried rejecting. >_>
i have absolutely no idea what to do. my efforts have made things better though, because let me tell you i used to break out SO bad, and i was relying on concealer and all that, but now i dont really wear it that often, haha. even though they're better, i just want to be normal /:
any help is greatly appreciated. please don't suggest antibiotics...they give me bad yeast infections, and i tried minocycline. literally the day after i got an infection. so /:
I have crazy sensetive skin and I slightly break out?

It's good you try to eat healthy and veggies (though greasy foods and meats won't break you out, unless your allergic to them). If your acne won't go away at 18, you might want to talk with your doctor about acutane. It's very strong stuff but it worked for me and now I have virtually no acne. Antibiotics always only worked for a little while for me, then my body built up an immunity to them :) can't say I was very fond of them.
