I have those things too. The only thing that gets rid of most of them is to cut carbohydrates almost completely out of my diet.
I still indulge once a week, but otherwise I stay off them. My skin usually clears up in a week or two when I do that.
Maybe give that a try.

thanks for the advice. the thing is I didnt have these problems 1.5 years ago and I cant explain to myself what did I do wrong.
could hormones or a bacterial infection be the cause?
I cut sweets by 90 %
srsly go see a dermatologist
I went two days ago and she gave me some prescriptions to help

Oh thats interesting. I've had the problem since puberty, so in my case its probably hormones.
Honestly, cutting 90% of sweets out of your diet is good for your health but its not enough for your body's primary energy source to switch off blood glucose onto something else.
Being overweight or having excess fat stores can do it as well. Could def be hormones, might be bacterial but I think the bacteria that causes acne is likely a response to diet/oiliness of your skin, sort of like how the bacteria responsible for tooth decay feeds off carbohydrates which is why sweets and things like potato chips are bad for your teeth.

I though lemon, apples and bananas were good for the skin cause the contain vitamin c and proteins

Just drink more water you autist.

Shower every day is the best advice i can give you

Beyond what you need to not get scurvy and other malnutrition related diseases, vitamin C has no demonstrable medicinal effects.
Meat is the best source of protein, although I've never heard about protein curing acne.
