I need help! My acne is getting bad and I’ve been waiting for a year to see a dermatologist
I’ve had bad acne for years now (I’m 21). In 2024, it started to clear up (I only had a few pimples) but not long after I started taking HRT (I take testosterone) and it didn’t take long for my acne to come back and get really bad. I also started getting bad body acne which I didn’t have before. A few months ago, I started shaving (I use a razor for sensitive skin) and I started getting really bad acne on my jaw and my neck. 2-3 months ago it was looking like it was getting better and then a few weeks ago it started getting bad again (I think it’s because I started eating chocolate…) It hurts and I can’t stop touching my pimples with my fingers (it’s a bad habit I’ve had for years)
I wash my face twice a day (I use a Cerave cleaner in the morning and a Cetaphil cleaner when I shower in the evening) and use these products in the last pic I added. I also wash my body with normal soap and then Cetaphil and then a benzoyl peroxide cleaner everytime I shower. I’ve been waiting to see a dermatologist for a year now but I think I’m gonna have to go to a private clinic.
What more can I do to help it get better?
