Could Adderall, Red Bull drink, or very little water be causing my adult acne?

I'm 24 and had occational breakouts up until I was 22. Then I started Adderall XR 30 mg twice/day. I started to get acne around the same time. Now I have a hard job and drink about 24 oz of sugerfree red bull and only about 30 oz of water a day. My acne is pretty bad now and I just can't figure out why it would go from fairly normal breakouts to acne in my early twenties. I'm so frustrated because I have a public job and its very embarrassing. I'm happy and confident with myself otherwise, but I've tried everything OTC and can't stop breaking out.

Adderall and red bull probably don't add much to it, but if you drink more water, that can really help your skin. If the OTC stuff doesn't work, you can go to your doctor and get a few perscriptions, they now have pills and LOTS of creams for acne
Reply:You really need to drink more water. I'm sure it would help immensely.
Reply:Stress can cause acne to get worse. Studies have shown that the foods we eat are not a major contributor to acne breakouts...things like chocolate or fatty foods.





You're probably best off treating it frequently with an astringent like Sea Breeze, taking a vitamin A or beta carotene supplement and seeing a dermatologist if it continues to get worse.
Reply:I'm 27 and on Adderall XR as well. I can tell you that it hasn't caused me to break out at all. Although, between you and I, it's the miracle I've been praying for in terms of concentration! :)





I would say that drinking water would help tons. And yes, stress does cause you to break out more. My best suggestion is to maybe think about starting a work out routine to help you relax a little!





Also, if you get really self-conscious about it, you can try going to a dematologist about your breakouts, he/she can help you out with something stronger than just otc stuff.
