What you eat could be causing the acne. Food does cause acne and other skin problems. Junk and fast food, processed foods, greasy, fatty and animal foods all can cause acne in some people. If your diet has a lot of these foods, you could try and change your diet. More food from plant foods like lentils, pasta, whole grains and lots of vegetables. Many of the junk foods are really poison to the body, and that poison has to come out some way, and sometimes it comes out in the form of acne and other skin problems.

Try using some body wash for acne, or antioxidant soap.

I agree with the tooth paste dries them right up
