Sugar Causes my Acne and Folliculitis

Ok, I said in my last post that I was going to reduce my sugar intake to see if that had the effect of improving the condition of the folliculitis on my scalp. Forgive me as I'd been on vacation the past 2 weeks and had very easy access to the most delectable cakes, pastries and desserts you could ever imagine and this definitely got the better of me.

I can say however that from all this extra sugar intake, the folliculitis did continue to flare-up on the back of my scalp as well as acne on some parts of my face. You could really notice the condition of my skin going backwards.

Since I've been back for 2 days, my diet has returned to normal, where I'm not eating too much sugar and it's almost miraculous the way the acne on my face has more or less cleared up and the folliculitis on my scalp healing nicely. What's more is the general condition of my face is so noticeably improved that I can truly say that for me, sugar is one of the major factors in bringing on acne and folliculitis.

Note that I've still been taking the daily dose of 1 teaspoon of turmeric in a glass of water on vacation.
