I have been gettinf terrible acne right around my jaw close to my ears. Very painful and embarrassing! My 10 year high school reunion is in december and I may not even go because of it and I am on the planning committee :(

Oh my gosh, I teach middle school too and I was thinking the same thing yesterday. My students have better skin than me! I'm EBF so I'm stuck until she's done with that :(

I'm EBF and my acne is horrible! We have family Christmas pictures on the 23 and I am dreading it! I never had acne before this not even when I was pregnant :( wishing it would GO AWAY!

I have had the worst time my WHOLE pregnancy. I finally went to the dermatologist and I am on birth control and an antibiotic and a topical cream. my face is sooo much better!! I still get break outs but it's like one or two. and I feel so much better because really not only is it embarrassing but its painful! good luck I would definitely go to the dermatologist if u are not ebf.

It's hormone-driven:( I went to my dermatologist bc it got so bad at 2 mos after I had Ada that I was embarrassed to go back to work at my junior high teaching job bc my complexion was so much worse than my teenage students'!!!! She said, "That's SO from hormones...and we can't do much of anything about it til you're done breastfeeding." Sigh.. When I'm done BFing, I can go back on regular birth control (w estrogen, which helps with acne), an antibiotic that kills bacteria, and a topical gel. Til then, I'm suffering through and TRYING not to touch/pick at my face. Sooooo frustrating!!!!!

I also have gotten bad acne. Your not alone :)

I have it too, my whole face and all across my chest is broken out. If you find the answer let me know! I have never had acne before so I was thinking it must be hormonal.

I have bad acne in the worst place ever...my chest! I mean my boobs and everything! It's embarrassing! All throughout my pregnancy I didn't get any acne whatsoever and then BAM...all over my ta-ta's!
