Breastfeeding and Acne

I've always suffered from Acne but since DD was born 6 mths ago it has become gradually worse. Just been to the GP who said cos I am BF not a lot he can prescribe other than topical lotion which takes an age to do anything.

He suggested that the pill I am on may be causing my skin to flare up and asked why I was taking a contracepive if BF'ing. I pointed out to him that although it offers some protection BF isn't 100% failsafe against falling pregnant hence I would prefer to use contraception.

Skin is really getting me down at the moment. I'm not going to give up breastfeeding so this limits what he can do.

Anyone else found BF has made their acne worse or do you have a solution to my problem???
