Scale victory (and sudden acne onset as I continue to lose?)

Hi everyone! Long-time lurker on this sub. Really appreciative of it as I continue on my weight loss journey.

I’d like to first share a scale victory! I lost 2.2 pounds this week, making it a grand total of 12.2 lbs down in just four weeks! After I was taken off a weight-gaining medication, the excess weight I’ve gained is coming right off with more careful food choices. I’m really excited to share.

I’m 23, and have never had issues with adult acne until I hit the “reset” button and started on my weight loss journey again. Suddenly, I’m sprouting both cystic and whitehead acne on my jawline that’s super stubborn and painful.

I read somewhere that a change in protein during weight loss can cause something like this. I was wondering if anyone knew any specifics as to why this happens, or how to clear it up?
