Why am I still getting pimples even when eating clean and healthy?

I am a fit male, 24 years old. I started on the Paleo diet one week ago, not to lose weight because apparently it is very beneficial to your skin. One week on and I am getting more pimples, mostly yellow heads and if anything it looks like my skin has got worse.

I am sick of pimples, I have had them since I was 13. I thought it was gluten, dairy, soy all those things, but no matter what I exclude from my diet I STILL get them. It isn't major, but theres probably about 10 on my fce right now, most are yellowheads.

So I started on the Paleo/Caveman diet one week ago and have beens ticking to that.

I have been having quite a few banana chips recently, maybe something like 1- 2 cups per day so I am thinking the oil from those (Coconut oil) could be affecting me somehow?

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks.

    Not familiar with that diet but it could be getting ride of the toxins in your system which would make it worse for a while then start getting better. Try not to irritate the pimples this causes them to spread. Clean your face with apple cider vinagar and drink aloe vera juice to cleans your body. Then again it could be a hormonal imbalance.

    I'm not sure either what could be causing it, but I think you should try using witch hazel. It's really good for your skin. Just soak a cotton ball in it and wipe it all over your face after washing.
