A soy allergy can manifest as acne. It took me forever to figure this out with my own complexion but if you search online long enough you'll find plenty of articles that state this fact. As soon as I stopped drinking soy milk and eating tofu, my cystic acne cleared up. I still get breakouts from peas and garbanzo beans, which are in the soy family, but nothing like what the soy products triggered. Let me know how it goes for you--I'll bet this is your answer. Go to nosoy.com for a start.
