I can't seem to get rid of these pimples. What could be the cause?

[Anonymous]

I used to have typical acne, but it was gone long time ago, especially after cutting dairy and gluten. Lately, I started getting weird pustules only between my mouth and nose. When this started I saw the doctor and he said it was folliculitus (very mild, just two or three pimples). I was using apple cider vinegar, and it seemed to work. I would only occasionally get them. My face was clear for over two months, even without using anything.

Now I started getting horrible ones. I am planning to see the doctor soon, but I don't want
to take any antibiotics because they destroy immunity. I want to know why I am having these pimples non stop since last month.

I suspected diet, but I am eating healthy. Could it be stress? I have been so stressed lately. I just want to get rid of those unsightly pimples that are very hard to cover😐😐😢

Any suggestions?

hi there, well certainly could be stress related also hormones can play a role as these alter as we get older. i would recommend getting some aloe vera gel and applying everyday in the areas that cause trouble have a look into the skin benefits, also coconut oil is good, worth a try xx

Take 40-50mg zinc orally every day for two weeks and see if it gets any better

I tried to take zinc before just to strengthen my immunity, but it always makes me nauseous and on the verge of throwing up.
Thanks ☺

You have to eat before you take it otherwise that will happen

[Asker]

yes, you are right

stress probably has a lot to do with it
