[ACNE] Learning to live with new acne

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've had crystal clear skin ever since I could remember. It's been dry as well, but truly no more than 1 or 2 blemishes at a time.For about a month now, my skin has been breaking out in a way that I have never experienced before. My chin and jaw have been covered in pimples constantly, and they are now spreading to my forehead and temples. I can't tell what this is caused by. I started new birth control in August, but I doubt that it is the cause since the acne started so much later.I've been trying new things to calm them down. Zinc, niacinamide, salicylic acid, raw honey, rosehip oil, the gentlest cleansers I can find, etc. It's taken me a lot of work to get used to not touching my face, but with this pandemic, I've found that there are more reminders online and in public.This whole post probably sounds pretty awful, and I know that. How could I complain about my skin during a time like this? Despite knowing and understanding this, I'm still struggling. I loved my skin and took great care of it. I exercise five days a week, drink as much water as I can get down, use gentle cleansers, natural ingredients. My diet is the area that I need to improve in, but there haven't been any changes recently so I can't imagine why it would be a factor in this sudden flare-up.I'm seeing a dermatologist for the first time on Wednesday and I'm excited yet nervous. I'm scared that they're going to tell me there's nothing they can do and I will be forced to deal with this for the rest of my life. I desperately want my skin back.I appreciate this subreddit and the massive amount of supportive people on it. Thank you for always reminding me not to pick and to stop! touching! my! face!Much love.
