Hello Everyone,
First of all, I'm a 22 year old, Male. Just in case that helps.
So, recently I have had some problems with my skin, specifically my cheeks and eyelids, but also in some other areas on my face.
It isn't acne but my face is definitely inflamed and there are lots of little bumps on my cheeks that seem to not be turning over properly, etc.
My eyelids are a little red and I can also see little bumps as well.
Overall, you can tell that my skin is not clear, you can no longer see my freckles on my cheeks.
A few times, I have managed to clear it up, almost instantly, within a few hours. I mean everything goes away and it's clear and beautiful. I just have no idea why that is...

Notes:
Sun doesn't help, in fact, it seems to make it worse. I also get very, very tan. Which made me look into Vitamin A, but I do horrible with almost any supplemented amount. I've tried 5,000 to 10,000 to large amounts.
I also got really dry scalp when I was out in the sun for a long time this spring which makes me, again, think I need Vitamin A.
I then tried supplementing Vitamin K2 and it helps but it doesn't always help, sometimes I can see my forehead starting to exfoliate and clear up but it doesn't make it all the way.
So the sun makes things worse, but not all the time, I seem to do better with Vitamin A, but not a lot of it...
Also, everything other than my skin and my scalp seem to be great. I can definitely feel that my face is inflamed but my energy levels are good, my weight is great. My muscle tone is great, everything is just great, which is why I don't understand why my skin is not.
Could it be thyroid related, even if my weight, muscle tone, and energy are good? Do I just need to try smaller amounts of A?
Honestly, I don't understand it. I used to have great skin and great hair and now blah...
Anyway, I would greatly appreciate some help! Feel free to ask me any questions.
Thanks!
