Struggling with Acne and Rosacea After 20+ Years

As a teen I had bad acne. After 20+ years with almost none, it returned in the form of acne and probably rosacea around the age of 43, during a stressful life moment (divorce/job issues). 4 years later and despite dietary changes, various types of creams, treatments, and medications, nothing seems to help. Maybe someone here can? :)

I wish I could help you because I also need the help. 😥 My cystic acne is so bad. I didn't even have bad acne during my teenage years... This was triggered from thick cotton masks in military bootcamp. Wearing it from morning to night, only taking it off to eat or shower. Those were the rules. Ugh... It's so frustrating. Have you found any relief at all?

not yet, trying different dietary changes, a coupe of highly recommended (on Amazon) soap and lotion products, let’s see what those do. Sorry about you’re having to be forced to wear a mask so much
