Post Partum Acne?

edited October 2011 in Postpartum Health
Before I gave birth I had these tiny little red bumps on my chin, almost looked like a rash and some under one of my nostrils. I thought they would go away after giving birth but it seemed to get worse! :-( Has anyone experienced the same thing? Is it normal for acne to get worse after having your baby?

Another question...can I use ProActive while breastfeeding?

    Lol at flabby. Its sucks though to have flubber and acne. Its normal since your hormones are still all over the place. Mine got better around 5 wks then i started birth control and i started to get bumps again, but they're getting better. Just hang in there.

    @myressa2011 Very flabby! :( Well the bottom of my stomach and my thighs, I'm wearing my post partum belt 24/7 hoping it takes care of some of the flabbiness before I start working out like Richard Simmons!

    Ugh I'm also scared to start on bc again bcuz they all make me break out in the beginning, Yaz did wonders for my face, it was so nice and clear but I had to stop taking it bcuz it caused gallstones. Gotta start looking into which one I'm gonna use.

    @starrxoxo9 Ugh! And I thought my face would get better once I had my baby :-(
