mdmom Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 I am not well-versed in the causes of acne, but I do know 2 people who have treated it medically. One had chelation for high mercury and her acne cleared; the other is treating with abx - doc says it's bacterial. So my point is this: it may not be hormonal but something else internal, which is why behaviors might be coinciding with acne flairs. Just a thought....

Just a thought.... low zinc levels has also been attributed to acne. I read this in several publications and also at autism seminar. Zinc supplementation is supposed to help, but I do not know how much zinc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melanie Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Shouldn't ave any strep. He's on minocycline 100 mg daily. Acne much better but I do notice flares and behavioral changes. What does the zinc do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
