Title basically, posted this thread yesterday thought I found the solution, I was dead wrong. I did some research and my acne is 80% hormonal (drinking milk) with 20% coming from touching my face or sleeping in an old pillowcase or using any towel and mostly it comes from shaving. I get either mild or sever cystic acne.
I am 17 nearly 18, I heard about accutane and it seems the only thing that removes acne from the source (makes the glands smaller among other things). I dont want to use it as it lowers igf-1 the mother of all growth. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20128787/
Also going to start taking armoasin which will lower e2, hope that helps. PROBLEM IS: INFLAMMATORY REACTION (maybe from milk and e2 increases?) , HORMONAL.
Want something that can do what accutane does, "helps to reduce oil production on the skin, and actually helps to reduce the size of the sebaceous glands".
So what should I do? I want to remove acne from the root cause, but I don't want to go one without milk or not shaving, is there an alternative to accutane? Heard of Retin-A is it going to remove the acne from the source? Ie help make the glands smaller, or is it just going to make the acne go away and if I mess up 1 time I will become like a volcano?
tldr acne everytime drink milk or shave, don't to use accutane, want to remove acne that's mostly hormonal from the root cause.
