How long does Acne Conglobata last?

I had to Google this one.

I am so sorry if you or someone you care about is going through this. Symptoms can go on for years. Only recently has the medical community started to suspect that this is an autoimmune inflammatory condition. Unfortunately those same doctors are still decades away from knowing how to truly treat an AI disease. Fortunately, thanks to the power of the internet, people with AI disease took matters into their own hands a long time ago. What it boils down to is gut health and identifying your triggers. I had terrible acne for 10 years and Ive had a very painful autoimmune disease since I was a teenager. You can control these issues through diet and lifestyle, contrary to what any doctor has to say about. It's really the only choice that doesnt make you a lifetime customer of the medical establishment. Not to mention the sub par outcome with that plan long term. This isnt to say that employing the tools allopathic medicine has to offer is wrong in any way. It's just not ideal. As I write this I am suffering the aftermath of a terrible IBD flare from three weeks ago. I requested a prescription product to speed things up and deal with the lingering pain. (And today I will be requesting an even stronger version because this current strength just isnt quite enough) However, weeks before I turned to a prescription I went low residue and started aggressively correcting my colon PH. I also reflected on places where I had gotten sloppy on my diet and got back on track. Figuring out your underlying triggers is key before turning to prescriptions. Though my book is titled for acne, it follows the same formula one with any AI disease would follow to get their symptoms under control. You must balance these things first and foremost. Then deeper causal agents will revel themselves. Those are what you want to really address. If you are already taking medication to control your symptoms a good place to test reducing your medication would be in the 2-3 month range. 4-6 month range if changes were not strongly adhered to.
