Question

I am dealing with HORRIBLE postpartum cystic acne. The most I ever had before this was maybe 3 acne cysts at one time. Is there anything I can do to make this better or do I just have to wait it out? I feel so hideous 😞 I’m breastfeeding so that makes most medications for it not an option. My face was flawless 2 days after her birth and then this happened. I’m now almost 9 weeks PP.

Answer

See a dermatologist. They may not be able to clear it completely while you’re breastfeeding, but they can help treat it so you can avoid long-term scarring

Answer

Look into an essential oil called progessence

Answer

Mine was exactly like this. It’s calmed down slightly but definitely still bad. I’ve always had clear skin this is new to me. 
I’ve just been putting benzoyl peroxide cream on them. And hot compress for pain. 
So far they’ve subsided but I still get breakouts now and then.

Answer

I had kind of the same issue. Mine was on my chin. I went to see dermatologist and was prescribed a yeast cream for face. Helped tremendously!!! I still use it twice a day. I also wash my face with benzoyl peroxide (dollar store brand) and by using both, my skin is now clear!!!
