Acne 10 months after giving birth....arrrgh! :-( Can anyone help...please.

[ChocolateMouse]

I had acne quite badly as a teenager then it slowly got better. I used to break out at certain times of month but I could cope with it and felt fine. Now, 10 months after lo is born, I have erupted, almost literally and it's really getting to me - and it can sometimes be painful. I have reduced the number of times that I'm expressing each day so assume that this is why my cycle has now started again but seems to be all over the place; I guess that's why I have the acne too?? Does anyone know of any remedies that could help someone that's embarrassed to show her face in public?!?!

Thanks

Oh ChocolateMouse I feel for you. I have suffered with acne all my life - the only time it cleared up was when I was pg and breastfeeding. I had a mc last month and since then my skin has been the worst it's ever been

Have you been to your gp? I used the Dianette pill for many years so if you're happy to go on that - it's an option that worked really well. I've also used various topical treatments on prescription, which may be worth a try.

I am currently trying Freederm Gel from the chemist - it's only been a few days but it seems to be drying my spots up quite well.

Good luck - and let me know if you find a miracle cure!!
