When will my skin clear?
By Amy
My skin is the worst it has ever been. I've tried everything from QV skin cream, benzac and now antibiotics to destroy the bacteria underneath the skin. At 29 weeks pregnant I was told I had gestational diabetes. My whole diet was turned upside down as I'm gluten free and most processed GF foods are high GI and spike your sugar rating which is not what you want when you have gestational diabetes. Pretty much I was only eating raw foods. However, since having Abigail, I haven't been concerned about what I eat as I am no longer pregnant therefore technically I shouldn't have to worry about gestational diabetes. Although I should go and get re-tested to see if I'm still affected. The dermatologist had said my hormones will be racing until I stop breastfeeding and suggested that my outbreaks could be due to the change in my diet and to go back to raw foods and start a course of antibiotics. My skin is slowly clearing and I look forward to no more boils on my forehead.
