Good evening Jordan!
I apologise if this question ends up a bit long winded or overly complex but I really don’t know where else to turn to. I got my girlfriend into resistance training a few months ago. She changed her diet significantly, increased her protein intake and started supplementing with whey. Brand of choice was Optimum Gold.
For the past month or so she has been having serious and even painful acne outbreak on her face. We are now trying to narrow down what might be causing it and see if anything can be done. The trouble is, she was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries when she was in puberty and has been having hormone-related issues her whole adult life (her test is 2.3 nmol/L if that matters).
A few stats:
| female, caucasian | |
|---|---|
| age: | 29 y.o. |
| weight: | 63 kg |
| height: | 176 cm |
| on birth control: | since 15 y.o. |
| stopped birth control: | mar 2019 |
The only reason she got off of birth control is, well, desire for a birth :). All was reasonably fine for a couple of months but around Christmas all hell broke loose. She’s been having acne outbreks on and off each week or so. Any ideas here?
I understand this might be well beyond an online forum but just a general direction will be greatly appreciated. Get off whey, supplement with something else, get off skyr cheese/yoghurt…?
Many thanks!
Alex
