Met a guy with crazy acne and pimple breakout.
I gave him some simple tips.
Avoid touching your face unnecessarily, especially if your hands are not clean.
Drink water adequately.
Don't put cosmetic on your face.
Clean out your guts every two week.
He thanked me later, the breakouts lessened.
What would like to add to this tip?
Last year, I was dealing with crazy canker sore explosion. I would get a break out from very tiny or mild scratch on my lips, be it from eating a piece of extra crunchy chip or scratch from a fish bone, or tiny bite with my teeth while eating.
Once the breakout start, they would go on to grow for at least a full 7-10 days, before they start healing, grow as big as half of my little finger nail (sorry I'm not good with measurements). They were big, really really big. So, it would take a full 14+ days from the beginning until it heals. Then, after healing, I would scratch again and start another break out, which will again take another 14+ days to grow, develop and heal. During the 14+ days breakout, at least up to 7 days were so bad, so painful, affects my eating, drinking and general well-being.
It had been going on for a couple of months, until the very end of last year. I tried looking for answers everywhere, consulted with doctors, but none of them seemed to help, it always took the full 14+ days cycle.
Fast forward to 2026, I haven't had a single mouth sore, canker sore since the beginning of the year.
My diet didn't change much, started consistently working out and eating more proteins, lost some weight and love handle, everything else stays the same.
I just wanted to understand what happened back then? I'm not saying that I'm not happy it stopped, but what made it stop? And most importantly, how do I make sure they don't come back and haunt again?
Any insights will be helpful.
