has anyone had any problems with their skin breaking out ever since surgery?

Lol I did!/ still do! I laugh because I feel like this side effect was never discussed. I broke out like crazy. I asked surgeon and it is because the change in hormones. He felt it wasn't a big deal and eventually it will settle down. But what I have found to help me is Clinique 3 step I never required high end products vs whatever i can pick up at target but its helped me.

This makes me REALLY nervous.

I used to have really bad acne as a teen, as a lot do.

Mine was much worse and actually took meds by mouth that were so harsh Im still dealing with the effects of it. (Im 25 now and the meds are off the market now)

So thinking of how I used to be, I am so scared about this.

Yup. Just like a teenager all over again. Bumps and zits! Ugh! I guess it's one of those things that we'll have to deal with until it passes.

Omg

when I say break out I mean dry skin on the face.

I have dryness like that now. I have been strughling with it for months before I found my solution.

I use aveeno extra moisture lotion. Right after i take a shower I wet my face with cool Water and then put a little bit of the lotion to the dry area. mixing it with the cool water helps my skin absorb the lotion.

I get dryness on my face and my left hand! I couldn't tell you what it's from

My regular doc said in addition to your body adjusting to change, skin problems and unusual rashes may also be associated with vitamin deficiencies. I find at almost 6 months out that almost every problem I have can be fixed by being more diligent with my vitamins.

didn't take long to get my face back on track

My face looks horrible. I had bad acne as a teen and have still had the occasional break out now at 25 but sine the surgery, my acne is much worse than it ever was as a teen.. I'm so embarrassed.

My skin is horrible. My skin can't hold moisture to save my life. I break out on my face all month long & they are huge pimples. It's really embarrassing and gross. My doc says it gets better but it's still pretty bad.

Good lotions and good facial junk but no real relief.

Acutane? I' too had severe ulcerated acne in my teens and early twenties. I took Acutane for four miserable months but it cleared up and stopped the acne.

I went to the dermatologist a couple months ago because I just couldn't stand it.

She has me using two lotions. One is called duac and he other is aczone. It's made a huge difference already.

I was getting nasty deep cystic acne constantly after surgery and now my face is back to normal.
