stress
or maybe climate change?

It's because you changed your diet. http://www.dietaryacnecure.com/

Search my name plus acne

[Jburn]

wash your face with the lemony dish soap stuff (srs)

[CCandME]

its most likely the protein powder or stress, or both

use tea tree oil, dab it on your zits with a quetip, worked really well for me

if it cleared up in 3 days then no you don't have cystic acne
its probably stress or diet who knows
or maybe a coincidence

Acne vulgaris: a disease of Western civilization.

BACKGROUND: In westernized societies, acne vulgaris is a nearly universal skin disease afflicting 79% to 95% of the adolescent population. In men and women older than 25 years, 40% to 54% have some degree of facial acne, and clinical facial acne persists into middle age in 12% of women and 3% of men. Epidemiological evidence suggests that acne incidence rates are considerably lower in nonwesternized societies. Herein we report the prevalence of acne in 2 nonwesternized populations: the Kitavan Islanders of Papua New Guinea and the Aché hunter-gatherers of Paraguay. Additionally, we analyze how elements in nonwesternized environments may influence the development of acne. OBSERVATIONS: Of 1200 Kitavan subjects examined (including 300 aged 15-25 years), no case of acne (grade 1 with multiple comedones or grades 2-4) was observed. Of 115 Aché subjects examined (including 15 aged 15-25 years) over 843 days, no case of active acne (grades 1-4) was observed. CONCLUSIONS: The astonishing difference in acne incidence rates between nonwesternized and fully modernized societies cannot be solely attributed to genetic differences among populations but likely results from differing environmental factors. Identification of these factors may be useful in the treatment of acne in Western populations.

- You gotta look at all the variables

- When I started school this year I moved into the dorms and I got really dry skin and itchy head and dry throat (bad cough). I got a humidifier and within a few days it was gone.

- Are you living in the dorms... If so, how is the air compared to what your used to?

ABSTRACT

Within the dermatology community, a general consensus has emerged that diet is unrelated to the etiology of acne. Except for 2 poorly designed studies, now more than 30 years old, there are few objective data to support this notion. In contrast, a large body of evidence now exists showing how diet may directly or indirectly influence the following 5 proximate causes of acne: (1) increased proliferation of basal keratinocytes within the pilosebaceous duct, (2) incomplete separation of ductal corneocytes from one another via impairment of apoptosis and subsequent obstruction of the pilosebaceous duct, (3) androgen-mediated increases in sebum production, (4) colonization of the comedo by Propionibacterium acnes, and (5) inflammation both within and adjacent to the comedo. This article will provide a review of the currently available literature on the association between diet and acne vulgaris as well as a discussion of the physiologic principles that may underlie this association.

hmm dont thin its stress (was mad stressed at home trying to do 3 assignemnts) the air in the dorms is probably **** and my school is in oshawa and everyone says the air and water is funky. Caf food is gross too (great for bulking)

when i went to military school in hs i would get horrid acne, when i went home over breaks it would clear up but i still had some, a few things i conlduded while i was there
- milk is the devil when it comes to acne avoid it at all costs i used to drink a half gallon a day before i was aware
-the food there was bad, powdred eggs low quality meats etc, stuff that is full of hormones and low grade which can mess with your hormones (no scientist)
these things cant really be avoided i would suggest stoking up on tuna so you have extra stuff to eat when the food is bad, but you probably do that.

Cliffs... its the food, milk
