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...

Yes, thank you! I agree with all of you. I have decided to deny the Accutane tx and just do the best i can with other options.
