Acne Post-Op

[auntiemel 275]

Anyone else get acne post-op? I have hormonal/PCOS issues and don't ever really have cycles, so I'm wondering if these little acne mean I'm going to start my period.

I didn't post on the ladies forum, I know, I don't care if guys chime in...you never know, you guys might know females that have had surgery and have input for me ????

It's funny you post this cause I'm having acne all of a sudden. Haven't had a break out in awhile. I'm 10 days post op and it started a few days ago. I got my period 2 days post op which absolutely sucked!!!!

I noticed I have little whiteheads on my cheek...Ugh! I hate acne! Although they say that all the hormones are releasing from our fat cells...I hope I don't end up with acne like I had as a teen! Oh the horrors!!!

I have acne issues. When I was in the hospital the steroids I was getting made it go away. As soon as I got home my face was covered with excessive acne that I never saw before. It sucks and I went back to my dermatologist for meds.

I have pcos and dealt mostly with sebaceous cysts and blackheads. Between improved diet, hydration, bare minerals make up, avocado oil instead of cleanser and some seriously smelly drawing salve my skin is a whole new animal today.

I know this is an older thread, but I'm having this problem and I'm hoping others can help. However, my acne is on my chest and shoulders as well. Since I've started loosing I've tried to be more vigilant about moisturizing my face, neck, and chest. I thought this could be the reason, so I stopped applying it to my chest. Then a day or two later I broke out pretty bad (for me). Broke out all over my face and chest. Any suggestions or explanation as to why. I've read when breaking down fat our hormones breakdown as well and I may get little surges of it.
