I had Rosecea really badly, actually very sore at times.

It was a while ago now but I recommend talking to GP. If you’re BFing they can prescribe topical solutions that are BFing friendly Flowers

Likely to be the hormones and sleep deprivation. Nutrition and rest might help a bit, and gentle skincare.

It does sound painful, some thibgs you can do are to take a really good vitamin and mineral supplement as sometimes spots along the jawline can be caused by deficiencies. Wash your bedding at 60 to kill off any bacteria. Think about your skincare and make up, does any of it neex replacing or changing? And the GP shpujd be able to help Flowers
