I have turned into a spotty wreck since I stopped bfeeding

I have outbreaks every day now on my cheeks and look a right sight. My skin has been brilliant up to now and the only connection is that it has got worse since I stopped bfeeding in December.

Other than a paper bag, is there anything anyone can recommend? I am very self conscious about it.

Thanks.

Me too. I am reassured that it means my hormones are kicking back in, along with ovulation, periods, fertility and some semblance of a libido! Nothing I can suggest to help, other than don't panic - I'm sure it will pass.

Are you on a contraceptive pill or anything Haggisfish? I am on Cerrazette and my periods were non existent before I stopped bfeeding, now they are back and back big time and my complexion is horrendous. I'm wondering if I need to change the pill?

No, I'm not on the pill. My periods are pretty much as they were before pregnancy (quite light and not too painful), but I am still feeding 1-2 times a day, so they might get worse after I stop altogether.
