Pretty much the title
Got a lot of acne around my mouth and want to get rid of it I tried a lot of stuff, even got some antibiotics perscribed twice, but nothing seemed to make a substantial difference.
Also, please don’t tell me i have to change my eating habits, im on a strict diet of goth mommy milk and chocolate granola.
Oh interesting… I think this is exactly my issue, I will definitely give the head and shoulders treatment a shot.
Also worth noting that if this is the case, your diet will also slightly factor into it. Insulin triggers your sebaceous glands to produce sebum (skin oil), and fungus tends to thrive in oily environments (like your scalp and face), because it needs the oil to help retain moisture.
So keeping your insulin levels low (avoiding sugar and carbs, high fiber and protein, etc) will help starve the fungus out. Basically, if you see improvement from the dandruff shampoo and that gets things under control, your diet may be the difference between “spot-treating” and “completely clear”.
