Possibly: That is reasonable for now. But if not gets worse may need to go to a prescription strength protocol.

Not nutmeg: I would try something more mainstream as well. You can use tea tree oil as an adjunct; it's a fairly strong estrogen some men grow breasts from it. Start using topical benozyl peroxide as tolerated (maybe you can take up to 10% 2x/day). Retinoic or salicylic acid are other options. If you're not clear in two weeks, get with your personal physician who can add something that will clear you
