I’m 22 and I’ve had acne issues since I was 12. Have tried every treatment out there, some worked for a bit, but then the acne always came back.

At around 18, my doctor advised me to start birth control to help me regulate my cycle and help with acne. Since then my acne has only been present around my chin area, instead of my whole face. However, after 4 years I stopped it because I gained a ton of weight without changing anything in my diet (and I’m an athlete, I generally eat healthy). Throughout those 4 years, I tried several different pills but none of them suited me...

Nevertheless, I still face issues with acne! My chin constantly flares up with cysts, Whitehead’s and small bumps and I don’t know what else to do...

Maybe my skin is calm for two days and then I’ll wake up with three large whiteheads the next day and one-two painful cysts that take a while to go away...

Any recommendations of what I could do?
