Hey there.....I am no doctor, but I know from my experience, that my body released a ton of toxins from my bod in the beginning and now at just over 6 months, it is starting up again. I just treat it like any other (monthly flare up) with cleanser and make sure that I don't touch my face, clean my phones off daily (extra oils) and totally get into my facial care. My back is doing it now at 6 months. Maybe it's working it's way, down. LOL. I am over 100lbs down and just over 6 months.

Don't forget that hormones are stored in the fat. When the fat leaves they are roaming around in your body looking for trouble.......much more active. Lots of great advise as to tx of the issue. Good luck!
