Question: Can any ladies relate.?
Hello Ladies,
For the past couple of months, I have noticed that my face breaks out right before my period. I assumed it was the warmer weather but now that it's gotten cooler, it hasn't changed.
I used to have a problem with acne when I was in my teens (I'm 32 now). I visited a dermatologist and after differin, accutane and other ointments, the acne was gone.
I have been on the BC pill (Loestrin) for about 5 years now. I assumed that the acne hadn't come back because I was on the pill. However, because of the recent breakouts, I'm not so sure that the BC pills were helping my acne at all.
Can anyone relate.? Should I go back to the dermatologist.? Health Question & Answer

Answers:
Break outs are common right before your period because of the the drop in estrogen (even on the pill since you stop taking the active ones for a while) Continue using your topical medications, that's about all you can do. Acne is common, even into a woman's 30's.Health Question & Answer

Hey hun, i have two friends who can relate to you, its actually acne, even posh spice suffers it. One of my friends is all over her chest and when she is due on it flares up something rotten. Whatever you do don't pick or scratch at them or they will scar. Freederm is quite expensive cream from the chemist but it is fantastic. Try it hun. Good luck xxxx P.S we are in our 30's xxHealth Question & Answer
