Hormonal acne - help!

Since stopping breastfeeding, I have had the worst acne on my chin! Very sore, under the skin cysts that become very large - blocking more pours and creating more spots! It’s horrendous and I’m getting so embarrassed. I look like a teenager again.

I contacted the Gp a while ago who gave me 3 months of antibiotics. This cleared it up beautifully. And now 3 months later - it’s back and just as bad!

I face wash, cleanse and moisturise twice a day. I use salicydic acid cleanser, tea tree oil on the acne. I’ve stopped wearing make up. I’m on a diet. I don’t drink alcohol. I have daily vitamins.

I suspect my hormones are off balance and that’s causing it. Can anyone help give any advice?
