Breakout at day 14

Today I complete 14 days on the diet - 100%. My skin started looking better after the tenth day on the diet, then, when I just thought I'd be totally clear in two weeks, I had a terrible breakout...

I have pimples all over my face now, under the skin as well as on the surface. It's all irregular, and I found them coming one after the other since yesterday morning... Every time I look at the mirror, I can find something new coming out...
I don't understand why, because I haven't changed anything in my diet and it seemed to be getting clear. I wonder if my acne has nothing to do with diet but with hormonal imbalance... Perhaps I can't avoid it when it's PMS time??? Help, please...

Even when your acne is hormonal, diet still plays a big role.
Day 14 is still very early. Yes, for most its enough to get clear, but for many it takes longer.
It may very well be that your pms has no actual impact anymore once you are on the diet a bit longer. You will know more in 4 more weeks...

Do you normally only have acne around the time when you are having your period?
