I don't get it. I had relatively bad acne, until I was about 17 - and it pretty much went away after that. I got the occasional zit on my chin, but that was that.

However, the past couple of months, I have found myself with pimples on my cheeks and around my mouth, and a lot on my chin. I have put on about 5kg in that time - could THAT have something to do with it? I was also briefly pregnant in November, could the pregnancy hormones have played some part?

I don't know how to get rid of it, i'm cleansing/moisturising & taking care of my skin....... blegh

i think any hormonal upheaval could cause skin problems, especially if you are prone to them.

i don't have any advice about how you could make your skin better because everyone is different. are you on the pill now? what does your doctor say?
