As the subject above, since this time last year I've been in a constant battle with my skin. I've always been prone to spots but in my early twenties they came mostly under control (bar the odd huge cystic one) When pregnant with DS my skin errupted which was awful as there was no way of hiding or treating it. With DD my skin was amazing but after stopping breastfeeding and going back on the pill this time last year my skin has been dreadful. I'm now at the stage of ageing but with spots all around my jawline, hairline and this weekend across my forehead. I feel like they are constantly appearing so I have 1-2 days when my skin is OK then back to new spots popping up.
In addition my hair is still dreadful post partum and loads more fell out this autumn or snapped off mid lengths despite DD being 22 months old. I'm exhausted constantly and look pale and drawn with rings around my eyes like a panda. Sounds super attractive I know! Work has been exhausting this last year combined with having a 5 and 2 year old at home.
With the covid and vaccine roll out situation I don't want to burden the doctors with anything cosmetic but equally I feel pretty shit about myself and wonder if there is something going on under the surface. Would you put up with this for a couple of months and go to the GP when things have calmed down or would you go now?
