Ok so the post heading is a little dramatic, but it's interesting that over the past couple of days, I've all of a sudden got new acne appearing on various spots on my face, and also small spots of folluculitis appearing on the scalp.
The facial acne is not appearing in any particular pattern so I can hardly say it is related to stress. For me stress-related acne occurs around the mouth and in the area just under the nostrils, where the moustache would be. But for these new acne spots, one is appearing on my cheek, another at my jawline, and a couple at either side of the temple.
In addition, the few new spots of folliculitis are mostly appearing at the hairline. I noticed a couple this morning at the forehead hairline, and I've noticed a couple at the side and back hairlines whilst washing my hair the past couple of nights.
This new flare-up, although minor, has surprised me a little, simply because I haven't been eating sugary junk food, and I've also been regularly consuming 3/4 teaspoon of turmeric in water each night straight after dinner.
One new change I've introduced though, is that I've started exercising regularly. Nothing overly exertive, just at least a 30 minute brisk walk on the treadmill to get my cardio and overall fitness into shape. I wonder if that has any link to this flare-up of acne and folliculitis?
