I was doing my morning obsessive reading and came upon this interesting PubMed article that gives a nice, comprehensive list outlining the effects of macronutrient/micronutrient deficiencies on your skin. Linky to the article..."Skin changes after bariatric surgery" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4371663/ A screenshot of the chart for quick reference is below.

I'm lucky I don't have any scarring. I guess there are a few small pock marks on my forehead, but I have bangs (I've had them all 30 years of my life, so they aren't going anywhere ever) and I will always have forehead acne from hair oils so... whatevaaa. lol

Clindamycin gel works great for me too. Apparently our fat cells store estrogen (for women) and as we are melting the fat away, those hormones are re-firing, hence why we feel and look 13yrs old again with blazing acne. Argh!

I started the Aczone about a week ago and it is making all of my acne bleed! And I am popping up with more. I think the erythromycin was better, even though it didn't do a whole lot. I'm *supposed* to give it 6-8 weeks though...
