Acne! Argh!!!
Does anyone have a dermatologist in the Atlanta area they can recommend? Familiarity with WLS patients would be a plus as I seriously think this is related to my DS as I have never had acne like this in my entire life.
I have been dealing with this annoying acne on my jawline for the last several months. I understand it is fairly common with DSers and I have tried the vitamin remedies with no luck. And it doesn't seem to be a hormone issue either. I need to seek the advice of a dermatologist now.
Has anyone gone through this and have any advice to offer?
Thanks,

I do hear a lot of other DSers complaining about this too. Mine were the tiny rash like pimples with white spots. Is it possible we malabsorb fat through our skin???
It was really weird battling acne at 35. I never would have imagined!

Everything else is awesome except for this horrible acne. My face is a mess! I'll try a new wash and see if that helps.

I went through the acne phase, too. Mine was fairly early out, though, from months two to five. I asked Dr. Houston about it on one of my visits and he'd never heard of such, but I know people on here have had it. I normally use Oil of Olay cleansers, and added Sea Breeze during the breakout. Then after running its course, it just spontaneously went away.
How have you been? I was just thinking about you over the weekend.

Anyway, I'm great other than this little problem. How are you and the hubby? We should get together.

Art and I are doing great. We missed you at the last meet and greet, but will definitely have to get together soon.
