Severe hormonal acne

2025-10-26 14:42:12
I'm 17 years old, for the longest time in my life, I never had acne, not even a single pimple because I have dry skin. But ever since I turned 17,it was like a second puberty, I suddenly gained 6 kgs more, and I started having severe acne, tried everything, nothing worked. Sometimes the pimples shrink and I'm left with only dark spots, but most of the time it's very painful pimples with puss, it's been a year since I've had clear skin. I'm having severe body image issues, going through depression ever since I lost my mom, everything's being a mess. But my periods are regular, no other problem.
