Since going off the pill in May I have developed horrible acne. I have tiny bumps all over my face. I'm 30 years old and I have NEVER had acne, not even as a teenager so this is very frustrating. I know my hormones are all messed up from going off the pill. I have been using Proactive for a few years and this does not work for me now. I used Cetaphil for sensitive skin but seems to make it worse. Help!!!! I feel ugly and very self conscious. Any tips or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Go to your doctor he can give you a prescription for acne and it really works.

You need to see what you are eating. Foods that are high in Iodine can cause lots of acne, such as seafood. Sweat can also be a factor in acne. You may have used proactive, but the food you eat and the sweat you make will balance your results.

Hi, we're on the same channel :) just lately i noticed that im having some acne (i think a side effect of some certain drugs i take, and stress)...ok, i tried going to a dermatologist and she prescribed me some stuffs to put on my face (about five) and then aside from that i was given an isotretinoin capsule to stop oil secretion/ sebum. also try to watch your diet, avoid oily foods, and get enough sleep. wash your face twice a day. and yeah, i forgot to tell, as our age increases, our skin pores get bigger too, and thats one culprit of acne...
