Hi all,

So, I’m two weeks post-partum and I feel like an absolute car crash (metaphorically speaking). I’ve had horrendous piles (thankfully improving), ruptured stitches and my skin is a mess! I started suffering with Perioral Dermatitis during my third trimester, and it got so much worse literally days after giving birth. This has also been coupled with hormonal spots and dry flakey patches. My self-esteem is taking an absolute beating! Mood is awful and feel really, really low.

I’ve been to the doctors and she has put me on a 12 week course of lymecycline. I’m 2 weeks in and no improvement.

I’m please give me some hope that this too shall pass...xx

It will pass. Took about 6 months for me.

6 months 🙈. I was hoping more like 6 weeks...glad to hear it settled down though.

The sleep deprivation, breastfeeding and shit diet didn't help though!
