Yes always had bouts of cystic Acne since I was a teen. Even in my 40s and now 50s I still have problems. On Iodine it got really bad with some fairly large cysts that would take forever to heal. I also got these really weird bright red dots or little bumps on my upper cheek. they would appear out of no where and then disappear within hours...I started keeping coversticks at work, car purse and checking my face regularly because they were nasty looking.
I don't think it should have taken 2 years to get this under control. I played with dosing the Iodine for at least half of that time. The research wasn't in place then that made me confident about using higher doses so the detoxing stuff scared me. Also took me forever to up my zinc. Now i'm on 30mgs/night and 100mgs a couple times a week. My ability to taste zinc with the talley test is much stronger.
