Hormonal Acne

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Hoping someone has some insight as to how to treat hormonal acne. My little guy is 11 months old and I've had terrible acne since he was born. It's exactly like the acne I had in the first trimester with both pregnancies, which leads me to believe it's hormonal (my face is usually clear otherwise). I've tried facials, honey, ACV, green clay, etc. to no avail. Some of the acne is cystic (painful) and I worry about scarring.

Is there a way to balance the hormones without BCPs? I am breastfeeding, so I wonder if this will be an issue until he weans.

Anyone with experience? Thoughts on herbal treatments?

Thanks!

Anyone with advice? What about progesterone creams? Will that affect milk supply?
