Since the age of 12, I've had spots on and off, including a pretty bad bout of acne at 22 when I came off the contraceptive pill. All in all, though, it was minor and easily concealed.
I'm now 35, fifteen months postpartum, and suffering with awful cystic acne. I don't know whether it's the return of my period (three months ago), my postpartum thyroid woes or the effect of prolactin on the body for an extended period of time.
Anyone else found that their skin went utterly barmy after breastfeeding for a lengthy period of time?
