ADULT ACNE: I don't know how old you are or if you are a male or female. Women often develop acne before their periods. Various medications can also cause acne. Are you taking any? Cut out nuts completely. Cut down on chocolate, dairy products and sugary things. If nothing that you are doing seems to help, you should see a dermatologist.

See a dermatologist: You are a common event for a 34 year-old woman. Food is not the cause! this is hormonal. Some birth control pills make it worse, some make it better. Iud with hormone makes it worse. Implants of hormones make it worse. Spironolone is a pill which is easy to take with or without a bc pill. After 3 menst cycles you will improve & then continue to keep control. 90 tabs of 100mg costs $16.
