Following a low carb lifestyle will help with your acne issues
My OH had terrible acne, massive sebaceous cysts, especially on his cheeks. . Nothing worked in getting rid of them.
10 or so weeks ago he joined me in low carbing (tho he eats more carbs than I do). His acne has cleared up drastically. People now comment on how much better he is looking.
So give it a good try and see how you go.
I agree that low carbing improves the skin. Although never troubled by the heavy scarring type acne, my skin always needed managing. So I've tried everything from the wide array of OTC products available at the pharmacy to courses of Roaccutane - available via a Dermatology specialist's prescription. I can honestly say the simplest and most effective treatment is a very low carb diet.
Yeah it can be quite dramatic, but if the dosage is calculated accurately it can be very effective. It is also available as a topical application. I remember reading an article about the two scientists that developed the treatment. They had been using it for decades and they literally looked 20 years younger than they were because their skin was in such a healthy condition.
