I have never had any major problems with acne on my face. Of course, there were changes, but I would describe their intensity as medium. Unfortunately, I've always had a bigger problem with subcutaneous acne - I mean the subcutaneous lumps that make my face appear rough. It's very hard to squeeze them out, and of course I try not to do so. For some time now, this problem has worsened - I had most of these changes on my forehead, and now they have spread to almost the entire face, mainly around the cheeks and jaw. In addition, I am much more likely to pop up single, large pimples from the so-called. root - they are very painful. I am 25 years old and I am very surprised that the problem of acne, instead of disappearing, is increasing. I would like to point out that I have been to a few dermatologists and unfortunately no Benzacne or Skinoren ointments help. I try to deal with major changes in a natural way using, for example, tea tree oil, but nothing works for subcutaneous acne. I am asking for advice, maybe it can be cured by some natural means? I would also like to point out that recently I ate a lot of ketchup and sweets - maybe my face condition worsened due to poor nutrition? I will be very grateful for any information.
