ACNE FLARE UP 😭

125lbs and 5’7 so I only did a 4 day fast.

Been trying to gain weight by drinking cream with my meals recently. And I HAVE OVER 40 PIMPLES ON MY HEAD. SOMEBODY SAVE ME 😭😭😭😭

Yuck. I feel you! Are they closed and skin coloured or white pustules? Just trying to work out if it’s fungal acne, which would need to be treated differently from β€˜normal’ acne.

Dairy can be a common trigger for acne. Maybe use a plant based cream or adding avocado to your meals, to get the added fats you are after?

Another thing to check - have you added any new skincare to your routine recently? Any new medications?

Also after my first 3 day fast I got a bunch of breakouts which I put down to purging, my subsequent extended fasts I’ve had no issues, so it could also just be a reaction to fasting if you are new to it.

I would post with a photo (if you are ok with that) on r/skincareaddiction for help with treating it.
