Skin issues

In the past couple of weeks, I have started getting spots/acne on my face and I'm not sure why or what's causing it.

My skin is usually clear and I get a couple of spots here and there when it's that time of the month. But just on one area of my face I've started to get acne and nowhere else. The spots don't hurt, quite small...some are hard :/

It's kind of putting me down as this hasn't happened before and I don't know how to get rid of the spots or what to use. Some of the spots go but it leaves behind like a scar/mark.

My diet hasn't changed so I don't think that would of impacted it...and I'm not stressed.

Any tips/products you could advise that I can use?

Google face mapping + acne.

It's real and if you know what system is causing it you can attack it faster.

Thanks everyone, I will have to give these all a go.

I have been drinking a nutritionally enriched milk for around three months now which contains protein and multi vitamins to help me gain weight. Could the dairy possibly cause the spots? I'm not sure if it will as I mentioned I got the spots around two weeks ago.

What do you think?

My skin is also dry so I don't really want to use anything harsh that will cause the skin to dry even more.

Thank you for your suggestions x

Vitamin C serum can help with the scars or dark spots left behind from your breakouts. It sounds like you have whiteheads? A good exfoliating scrub will help loosen the upper dead skin cells on the upper layer of the dermis and will help keep skin clear.

Yes dairy causes break outs in some people, eliminate that too and see what happens. Drink almond milk instead in the meantime.

Thanks all for your replies!

I reduced the amount of protein I consume now and my skin is starting to look a little better.

I also have bought some new skin care products too and it seems to help.

Since I have cut down on the protein, I've started to lose weight 😢
