HRT acne

Hi all

I started Everol HRT patches 5 weeks ago and having never had a spot in my life I have erupted in very red and painful acne on my face and neck. I looked at the side effects info in the pack and acne does not appear! Having said that, I realise that hormonal changes created from taking oestrogen could, I suppose, cause breakouts. I go to bed every night hoping that the spots will disappear by the morning, but am wondering if anyone else has experienced this and did it settle down? In general I haven't noticed any more energy or less 'acheyness'. In face, I would say that have more aches and pains since I started the HRT! Am I expecting too much after 5 weeks?
