    Default I'm breaking out like crazy! What am I doing wrong?!?

    Okay, so I ate two big tubs of chocolate ice cream on Monday (I have a binge-eating problem) and the dairy+sugar combo always makes me break out. So the next day I noticed three or four pimples on my forehead. I recently bought 2.5% benzoyl peroxide gel for the blackheads on my nose so I thought I'd use it for these pimples as well. I also started using a new face wash on Monday, which has 2% salicylic acid. You'd think that these two things would keep my pimples under control. But they are 10x redder and bigger than before! And I also noticed two new pimples on my cheek today! My skin type is normal and I NEVER break out unless I consume sugar/dairy regularly or in big amounts.
    I don't know why this is happening! Could it be because I'm using both BP and salicylic acid together? I use Jojoba oil as a moisturizer afterwards (it has never broken me out). I am also on my period, but I never get hormonal acne. What should I do?! I feel like crying!
    Ps- I'm 17!

    Looks like BPO alone is not working for you, add some antibiotics (clindamycin) twice daily with oral antibiotics like azithromycin for 3 days..
