As far as earlobe acne goes, I just started to get that after I changed my diet. It's probably because I am more susceptible to breakouts now that I'm off of spiro, so I have to watch what I eat. I dont' have spiro to protect me from the backlash. Although...at that time I was on Spiro, so it may have had to do with the protection that I had from Avandia (an Insulin Sensitizer, but altering my diet worked better). Anyway, what I found caused it was a combination of (Gluten-Free) Cereal and Organic Milk. I tested it on several occasions. I went through periods where I ddin't have them and then when I did. I finally linked it to how often I was consuming cereal. I used to eat this on a daily basis, but when I changed my diet, I drastically reduced my consumption. So I was purchasing cereal every 2 or 3 months and would proceed to finish off the box or two that I had by eating it almost everyday. Tsk tsk tsk ;-)
So that MAY be your problem, or it might be something else. I couldn't say but maybe you should try and think about things that you eat at certain periods vs. what you eat during other periods. A food diary always helps, if you can recall. Now as for your cheese addiction, why don't you try Red Star Nutritional Yeast. It supposed to enhance flavors and some have stated it tastes a bit like cheese. There's also a company called Road's End that makes a product line called ChReese. It's Dairy Free, Soy-Free, and some things are even Gluten-Free!
HTH =)
