Yes, it's happening to me. Never had acne in my life ... Even as a teenager. Very frustrating

Braking out a little??? I wish, I have always had a few pimples going on but now I am a war zone, they itch and never come to a head, just liquid in them, I know this is disgusting but what can I say??? Any suggestions? I heard somewhere that as my fat cells are shrinking, their are hormones in the fat cells and everything gets messed up???

Happening to me too! So

Glad I seen this post

I'm 7 weeks out and started getting acne all over my face last week. Its bad especially around my chin. That's weird that this happens. Glad I found that I'm not the only one.

Me too, my whole neck is groady. Losing my hair and breaking out, it's chemo all over again.

My skin has improved, I bought some Retinol Cream and dried those pimples up in just a few days, otherwise they were there for two weeks.

Where do you get Retinol from?
