every month without fail i get a massive painful spot, usually on my chin, just after my period. My skin is pretty crap at the best of times, but this puts the tin lid on it. FFS, i'm in my late 30s, i was expecting lovely clear skin by now!
Any advice for combating (combatting?) hormonal acne? i presume that some hormone or other is either dropping or peaking at that time and that's why this huge BOIL / CARBUNCLE appears on cue every month? Any dermatologists or doctors got any ideas... is there a supplement i can take or anything i can avoid?
Yes, i wash my face regularly and use a light non-oily moisturiser, don't use much makeup (unless trying to disguise the zit) and always remove before bed. sigh
