The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Adult Acne
I'm a 39 year old female who has been suffering with acne for the past 10 years (since my first pregnancy). My breakouts are generally on my face and back with small amounts occasionally on my neck, chest and shoulder area. It seems to always be worse just prior to my menstrual cycle. Seems to me it's hormonal and also stress related. A specialist recommended Acuttane to me but that is not something I'm interested in taking. A friend of mine used this site with some success so I'm hopeful that after all this time suffering with it there may be a natural remedy.Thank you
