VitaLady or anyone familiar with Acutain and Vitamin's (specifcally vit A)
I know you said your hormones changed. Have you actually checked all your hormone levels? Because sometimes upping your dose of estrogen helps. I just found this out from my endocrinologist. I have to high of a certain hormone that is causing some adult breakouts (i never had breakouts before, I was really blessed). If you have all your hormones in check then RX is only way to go. But I completely agree with VitaLady. Good Luck:)

I have never had a problem with acne, not as a teen, nor an adult. This is not until AFTER my DS. Since about 3 months postop DS, I have been badly broken out ALL THE TIME. Mostly around my jawline and cheeks. NOT HAPPY. I have tried EVERY OTC product out there, including really expensive stuff and the cheap teenager stuff. I've uped my A, E and zinc. NOTHING has helped and I am so so so so SO frustrated and sick of it. I know Accutane exists, but I would never, ever go there. Too many risks and side effects- way too dangerous. My plan is to hold up at my dermatologists office and refuse to leave until she finds a way to rid me of this that does not include risky medications...
