within the past few weeks i have tried collaidol silver, silver shield gel, olive leaf capsules(which i am still taking today), egg lecithin, st.johns wort, bitter melon capsules, and i am still itching and burning. i was on the birth control shot and i have not been on it for over five months now. and i have started having periods again. ( i was still having outbreaks while on birth control just not as bad as its been lately) i was taking lysine but i was reading that taking to much of it makes your urine really acidic and messes up your kidneys. I take vitamin c but i notice my teeth enamel is not quite healthy because of it. i take 2000 iu of d3 vitamin, the little white pills. golden seal extract here and there, zinc, garlic. i had ordered dynamiclear topical a couple of years ago and that stuff did not help at all with my outbreaks i used the bottle to last drop. I will say medavir seemed to help me topically but for thst little small bottle that stuff is expensive, but when i get some more money i am going to order some more of it. but i was trying use internal products to help me with this thing. im really at a crossroads and feel like i cant find any thing to help me control this thing. vitamin e, i put pure tamanu oil on the site but nothing, i have spent hundreds of dollars over the past couple of weeks for products to try and help me and yall i am so depressed till its pitiful. i dont what else to do.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,909,525I'm sorry to hear about your struggle. A few questions:
1) What is your diet like?
2) How much water are you drinking per day?
3) How many hours of sleep do you get?
Here are my comments and what has helped me:
1) I stopped drinking milk.
2) I stopped eating foods that contain gluten and eat grains that have no gluten like quinoa.
3) I drink half my body weight in oz. of water.
4) I drink greens (vegetable) juices.
5) I sleep at least 8 hours per night.
6) I exercise daily.
7) I took full body hormone acupuncture to balance my hormones (helped a lot).
8) I take 1 tablespoon of fish oil and 1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil everyday.
9) I take a fiber supplement daily (chia seeds).
10) The last thing I added to my supplementation was taking 4-7 grams Vitamin B5 (stopped mt face from getting oily causing rarely any breakouts to happen).
11) I also exfoliate daily.
I rarely even breakout for the past year. If you have any questions just ask me.

This is a reply to # 1,911,521Thank u for that PM Iceman. I want to juice and will as soon as I buy a juicer. I do still eat a lot of sweets and Other things I may not need. But when I have tried to eat healthy I would still get. An outbreak, buti do need to drink more water and I will try the fish oil. I was afraid to take b vitamins because I thought they made me have breakouts. But will do the b5. And when u did acupuncturing how does this work and how much it cost. I appreciate your time to respond.

This is a reply to # 1,912,339Hi,
Sugar is a big culprit of acne. I would limit foods with sugar. Don't forget gluten as well. If you like oatmeal (which causes people to breakout), they have a gluten free oatmeal that tastes just like regular oatmeal. I've been eating it for at least 3 years and it doesn't make me breakout at all. Quinoa is just like rice, but the grain is a little finer. For the fish oil, it is orange flavored and has no fishy taste. Here are links to where I buy them from:

http://www.iherb.com/Nature-s-Answer-Liquid-Omega-3-Deep-Sea-Fish-Oil-EPA-DHA...
If you're going to start taking the Vitamin B5 make sure you take a Vitamin B Complex once per day to keep your B Vitamins balanced. Before you start this, you should research it. Here are a few links with information and reviews:

http://gmuntz.tripod.com/b5.html
http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-Pantothenic-Acid-500-mg-250-Capsules/326?at=0
(I use this b5. Plus click on reviews in the link and tons of people have said it helped them with acne)
As for the whole body hormonal acupuncture, they cost me $60 per treatment. I took 10 treatments in a row (once to twice per week). If you or your parents have insurance, that would be great. I found an acupuncturist in my city who has experience with hormonal acupuncture and made an appointment. It's good to get the treatments every week. The closer they are the better it will work to balance your hormones. If you can't afford go twice a week, then go once a week.
Here is a link of another person who has tried Vitamin B5 and hormonal acupuncture and it helped them:

In my opinion it is great to have a good clean diet and live a healthy lifestyle, but as we do these things we might still get Acne from time to time. I know people who have strict diets and still breakout a little and other people who have bad diets and don't breakout at all. It really comes down to hormones and toxins. If you can eliminate toxins from the body and balance your hormones, then you will rarely breakout. So in the end, have a good diet and lifestyle and balance those hormones and you're good to go.
If you have any questions ask me. I'm here to help.
