reason of acne on face - #20658
I am trying to figure out the reason of acne on face because I’ve been struggling with it for the past few months. Like, one day I wake up and my skin is all clear, and the next it feels like a pizza face. Super frustrating, right? I’m in my early 20s and thought I’d left those teenage years behind, ugh. I’ve tried all kinds of over-the-counter creams and wash, but nothing seems to work. It mostly appears on my cheeks and forehead, and sometimes I get super painful cystic acne. I even did some tests to check for hormonal imbalances, thinking that could be the reason of acne on face, but everything came back normal. I’ve also been super stressed lately with work and exams, could that be a factor or is it more about my diet? I’m starting to think maybe I should see a dermatologist, but I wonder if there are any other reasons of acne on face that I might be missing? Anyone have experiences or tips to help me clear this up? Feeling a bit hopeless, not gonna lie.
