Well, I've been off of dairy for roughly a month now and I must say, it hasn't made a difference in my acne at all. I'm about to throw this whole anti-dairy thing into the huge landfill of things that never worked for me, alongside every OTC product ever, B-5, mino, tetra, retin-a, benzamycin, accutane, detox, fasting, etc. Quite frankly I've never seen a connection between my diet and my acne (I haven't had soda or fast food for 8 years by the way). As a scholar collegiate endurance athlete, there are just certain things I can't afford to take out of my diet, so forget that.

To top it all off, 2 years ago, my scalp became very itchy and has stayed that way since, makes my hair fall out when I itch it. To top it all off, this summer I developed back and chest acne for the first time in my 8 years of acne (turned 21 last week). Don't know what to do, I'm running out of options. It seems I've tried just about everything on boards like these, and while you are all nice to share suggestions, nothing has helped me at all it seems. I just get a steady stream of whiteheads only, maybe once a month I'll have 2 days where it looks ok, then goes back to normal.

At least my acne isn't horrible like it was as a teenager, but still really bothers me.
