Sister with Acne Problem
My sister is currently out of the country. When she was here, her skin was alright. As a child, she used to have acne problems too.When she was in her 20's, that was resolved by taking birth control pills. The doc said she has a problem with her hormonal balance. Now she is off birth control, but once she's back in our home country, she has an explosion of acne.
So she has boil like acne on her chin, small white-head acne above her jawline and between her cheeks and ears. Then there are those pimples on her forehead. she is quite devastated and need help.
Is there something out there for her? Does she need to also restrict her diet too?

My sister is currently out of the country and has little internet access. But I will try to answer some of the questions to the best of my knowledge
Patient ID: F/35/unemployed/single mom
1) Acne problems on the face (as described above) and sometimes on the neck.
2) Occasional headache, nausea and dizziness. Feel weak.
3) Stress (undergoing a divorce) and uncertain future. Took care of a high need baby who wasn't sleeping well for 2 years. Now that the child is sleeping well... body can't seem to recover or bounce back.
4)
5)It started when sister moved back to home country to be with parents for a little bit in 2009. It got better when she visited canada and US for couple months, but the acne problem started again once she got back home. When she was a teenager, she had acne problems but not to this extend. She has oily skin. She bought some good facial products recommended by the ladies in the facial spa place,.. it helped only when she was in US/Canada.
6)
7)Heat.. our country is hot and humid
8)I think so
9)Skin feels better in cold weather.. but I feel cold easily
10)Agreeable, Nervous, Like to reason (but parents always argue and being negative), Upbeat, Talkative, Outgoing
12)Fears of the future. Weird dreams
13)Normal
14)Normal
15)Don't like beef
16)Normal.. never used to sweat much until after having baby. Now sweat normal.
17)
18)Sleep better these days
20)
21)Tried Hyland's Acne homeopathy treatment.. no sign of improvement. Took some chinese med.. Helped with sleep a little .. but don't see immediate difference
22)Grandparents had diabetes in old age.. otherwise we are pretty strong. Mom has vitiligo... and am showing early signs of it too
23)Petite and very skinny now from stress.. eats well but not gaining a pound.
24)No manner illness except that she used to have very odd menses that would come every 2 weeks with severe cramps. Once she was sick and blacked out... Oh, she had pnemonia.. at least once.
Hope this is enough. Please help my sis.. she's just like any other girl who wants to have healthy skin. this hurts her self-esteem, I'm sure..

You will not be able to do this for her. These questions must be answered by the patient themselves to be useful to a practitioner. Any prescriptions made using information you have given will based on a mixture of you and her, and this will not aid in making a precise prescription for her.

I am thinking about other strange symptoms. She has big boil-like zits around her chin and she gets tired easily.

This is my sister's response:
Maybe there is some homeopathy medicine.
Probably cause by be one of them: Progesterone, Estrogen Dominance, or
Estrongen deficiency.
Insomnia (poor quality of sleep- dream)
Anxiety/ Stress
Headaches (sometimes I wake up with headaches if I sleep only 7 hr or
waking up while I was dreaming)
Painful intercourse
Memory problems
Extreme puffy and dark eye circles
Serious pimples (esp. around the chin)
Small pimples around jaw line and forehead
Low blood pressure
Weight loss
Vaginal wetness
Fatigue and back pain 2 weeks before PMS and 1-2 days before
Thanks.
ps.some website says birth control may not help
