Adult acne – going nuts.
Hello beauties. I have a dilemma. At 34 years old, I have developed acne along my cheeks and jawline, sometimes all the way down to my neck. It is red and inflamed and often does not have a head on it. As a teen I had acne along the t-zone, but this cleared up a little as I got older and was fully gone after I started on the pill age 20.
A bit more info: About 18 months ago, I weaned my last baby and made the switch from mini-pill to the full type. About 4 months after I did that, this acne started. I have gone crazy trying to work out what is going on. I have changed brands about 4 times, to no effect. I have also gone completely off the pill for 6 months, but all this did was encourage my body acne to return. The doctor prescribed Doxy, which I took for a week, then stopped as it was causing some joint pain.
I really really miss my clear skin. I have no idea what has brought this on. 10 years of pregnancy, breastfeeding, going on and off the pill in between was all fine, until the last one.
Seriously frustrated. Any ideas?
