About a decade ago I started getting pimples on my scalp. Uncontrollable kind. When you’re a baldy it stands out nicely and it hurt to put my head on a pillow too. Anyway, after seeing many doctors and being on doxycycline for 3 years, I was put on Accutane which worked amazingly. I was on it daily for about 6 years at 30-60mg depending on flare ups. Had to get blood work every month to see how the liver was doing. If I took a break for a week, it would come back with a vengeance. They call it folliculitis.
About 6 weeks ago, I decided to fight my enemy..... sugar. When you cut sugar from your diet, you’d be amazed at how you start to feel. Anyway, long story short, I stopped Accutane the same time I cleaned up my diet and my skin has been clear with zero flare ups.
I just wanted to share my experience. I do not know how the inflammation response works with sugars. A friend of my told me about candida recently and I will look into that and learn about it. If you guys know something please share, I’d be grateful to hear experiences.
Now I’m saving the prescriptions for a heavy cycle in the future. Although I do not know if it will be necessary.
My diet consists of beans, vegetables, CHEESE, lentils, yogurt, nuts, seeds, chicken, and steak. Olive oil for cooking and in salad (Greek). I think I will go on for a year with this and increase intake if I’m going to start building muscle. Don’t laugh but I do like a warm glass of milk if I can’t sleep Haven’t used prescription meds to sleep for a long time thanks to this hahahah. I’m glad I got rid of that dependence too. Cannabis helped get rid of that more than milk but it started other problems so I had to break up with Marry Jane as well. It was a toxic relationship for me.
I hope this helps some people.
