Advice on acne

[spencer]

I have been told that vitamin A can help acne since it's good for the skin. So when it comes to food I would try vitamin A rich food and I did notice that I get a break out everytime I eat two regular sized tomatoes. I believe because of how acidic they are...I foret specifics.

Also my doctor advised me to use regular soap, no scents or beads (because of over exfoliation especially if you use a loofah).

I use benzoyl peroxide on my body and not just my face buuut it WILL bleach you clothes so I only use it when I wear white.

I switched my face wash to a non-medicated, clear, very basic (It's actually called Basis lol) soap and it's worked VERY well, I also use it on the areas on my body that break out too and I believe it has been helping.

And in case you didn't know whenever you change a soap or cream or whatever you have to give it at least a month (my doctor said three months) before being able to tell if it's working. That's assuming your body doesn't decide right away that it loves whatever you're doing and you notice changes sooner but I have not been so lucky. xD

I'm not sure what exactly your budget is but your regular doctor may be able to pescribe a super cheap topical/pill medication if all else fails. Mine's only 10$ and it's working rather well though I still need to come up with the funds to see a dermatologist..

And I almost forgot I use witch hazel as well. It's super cheap.You can use it on your face or body. It's good for cleaning out cuts and scrapes too and no burn!

Hope I was able to provide something useful. ^-^
