Need help tracking my flareups

Posted , 3 users are following.

I've been having flare-ups quite frequently of late but I am not sure what's causing them and I'm not certain the treatment my General Physician has given is working either. I was wondering if there was any way to track the flare-ups so I can manage them a bit better. Please help, its really frustrating and I'm very stressed.image

    Efda.....have you noticed any connection to food when you have these flares?Try keeping a food diary and see if it matches to anything. If you eat a lot of chocolate then that is a major cause of acne flares..

    What treatment are you using?

    Do you think tracking the flare ups is the right course of action? You could use google calendar... But wouldn't you rather just look into treating the root cause of the problem?
