Help I have Acne!!!!
Do you suffer from acne or the occasional zit attack during your monthly cycle? This is a problem that plagues most teens and some women that are past their twenties. If you are among this group you are not alone. I myself suffer from the occasional breakout during my monthly cycle. Why is it that this happens? Well for starters, it could be something in your diet that could be causing you to have breakouts, or in the case for those of us that are older it could be a hormonal trigger, such as, your menstrual cycle. There are a number of reasons to why it could be happening and you just need to take a look at your diet, hormonal changes, and skin care regime. All this should be done under the eyes of a doctor be it a N.D. (Naturopathy Doctor), Licensed Esthetician, or a Dermatologist.
If you see a N.D. they will give you a more holistic (natural) way to go about how to treat your acne. They may tell you to use an oatmeal honey mask or to try a toner that is a mix of Rose Water and Lavender Essential oil. Your Esthetician may tell you or create the same type of products for you to use. A Dermatologist on the other hand depending if they lean on the holistic side or not may prescribe you an ointment or cream that has a bunch of chemicals in it. Though that is their call for what you may need.
At any rate if you are having an issue with your skin and you haven̢۪t been able to solve it on your own with the knowledge that you have you NEED to seek out professional help. They can help you figure out what it may be that is going on from blood work if it̢۪s a hormonal or allergic reaction to something in your diet or environment. This is why doctors are important so they can help us see things that we may not be able to see due to our lack of training for the inner workings of our bodies.
