ACNE?

Hello my fellow April losers. I am proud to say that I am about 95 pounds down and feeling great. But I am now having a skin problem. It is really frustrating because I never really had that problem and now I am thinking, "great now my body looks better and I have a skin problem." I am 39 years old so I think I am too old to have acne. I have to admit that I am not as consistent with the Vitamin A&D pill, so I wonder if that could have anything to do with it. I even ordered Proactive Skin Treatment and my skin seemed to get worse!!!!! Please let me know if anyone else has experienced this and what you did to help it. Tracey

proactive didn't work for me it made mine worse the lady said thats what it does first then it gets better but I said no thanks and returned it. I don't facial acne but I am having issues with my legs and under my boobs and my side? I think it is hormonal.

The reason our skin is getting worse is due to the hormones and also our body is breathing better through the fat.....I was told that people go through this and it will get better....Our bodies are so use to over producing everything....but Just make sure you do not over dry your skin out....So just use a gentle soap and do not scrub.....I know I have problems with it also now..I use Ivory soap 2 times a day.....Good luck and I think we are going through the nasty teenage years again.....

Tracey, I know of some products that can help. They are all natural and they will not harm your skin worse.

Hi Tracey, I had that exact problem for about 3 months after surgery. The ONLY thing that worked for me - and believe me I tried everything, prescription and OTC, was a facial wash with benzoyl peroxide. It's called OXY, and they have several products. Facial wash, pads to clean the face. Most acne products have salicyc acid in them to keep your face clear. These didn't work for me during this time. Give this stuff a try! Roxanne

Thanks everyone for your skin advice!!!! I think I am going to give the Proacitve a try for a little longer. I thought it may be hormonal but I wasn't sure. Have a Good Thanksgiving!!!!!!
