I don't want to presume to know what things you've tried in an attempt to clear up your skin, but have you ever done a detox diet and then added back in foods one by one? I have had bad acne my whole life. I am in my mid 30's now. A year ago I went on a detox diet on a fluke, and within a month my skin was perfectly clear. I found out I have a gluten sensitivity and a corn sensitivity as well. Dairy isn't very friendly to me, either. I say all of this because no doctor ever suggested that my acne was related to what I was eating. Of course, EVERY doctor says things like "don't eat chocolate, it gives you acne" and old wives tales like that, and then they wanted to throw me on pills and give me creams, which were just a Band-Aid that never got to the root of it all. If you haven't tried a detox diet, I highly suggest it. Its a pain, but worth it in the end. I never realized that I had a constant level of inflammation in my body due to gluten, but now even a TINY bit of gluten and my skin erupts into painful cysts. It drives me nuts when people say I should get tested, as the tests require you to be eating gluten at the time. Uhm, no thank you, as either way the solution is to just not eat gluten. Its not like they can give me a magic pill, lol.
