Happy Thursday Everyone!

So new post operative fun twist... I have crazy acne going on.

I've always had hormonal acne, but it was manageable. Usually on my chin and forehead. Now, it's blooming all over my face, and on my chest. It's far worse than anything I ever had in high school or after pregnancy. Because my acne had increased after the advent of diabetes in my life, and I was hopeful that once my blood sugars evened out it might improve a bit.

I *know* that this is likely just because of the estrogen dumping into my system (thank you fat soluble hormones!), and is simply another step on this journey. It's just adding insult to injury with all the other early post op fun.

Did you face this (no pun intended)? How long did it last? Did you find anything in particular (other than loads of make-up) to help?

Besides something to kill the bacteria...

Sunscreen & a retinol product to resurface the skin and fade marks quickly
