[Acne] Cause of my acne? Gym, diet, meds? Maybe all three?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've been doing quite a bit of cardio but not much more than I used to be doing. It's been about three months now and my poor forehead just won't give me a break. I get horrible almost cyst like (but they alway come to a head) zits that stick around and leave awful scars. Currently my habit is twice a day first after the gym and right before bed. It goes as follows cleanse, use diluted apple cider vinegar as a toner (this has helped a bit) then moisturize.I am doing /way/ more cardio than usual. I go to the gym every single day for at least an hour 3-4 days a week. About two months ago I was only going 3-4 times a week.Theres also the sugar. I've always consumed way too much sugar, but back when I was only working out the 3-4 times a week I was consuming a similar amount of sugar and didn't have many breakouts. Today, sugar wise, I had four pieces of cinnamon sugar toast, a slice of cheesecake and a brownie with vanilla ice cream. Clearly I could consume less sugar.Finally, and I only thought of this while writing the post, I'm taking a mood stabilizer. Right when this bout of acne cropped up is when I started taking it and upping my gym frequency. The mood stabilizer is called lamictal. The biggest side effect is a rash and what I've got is definitely not a rash. I can't find anything saying acne is exactly a side effect, but I'm curious if maybe this is the issue?What do you guys think? I'll obviously try to cut some of that sugar out but I really don't want to give up my gym habit. Do you think it's imperative to my skin that I take some days off from the gym? Should I sit in the sauna after cardio? Anything you can offer to help with the zits I have now?
