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 /:
