Help! Pimples after BCP

Hi guys

i need some HELP!!

came off the BCP (norimin) at the end of July. only had 3 cycles since then. about 2 months or so after i stopped taking them i started getting horrible pimples! all over my shoulders and top of my back and some on my chest. im getting sooo self conscious about it and having to watch what i wear so none of them show around the neckline or sleeves.

so my biggest problem (apart from it being summer and wanting to go swimming!) is the fact that im getting married at the start of march!!! and i have a strapless dress!!

so HELP PLEASE!!!

if anyone knows a good solution of what i can do to clear them up in time PLEASE let me know! im getting so frustrated with them!!

i have been using a scrub every 2 days but that doesnt really seem to be helping much. should i be using clearasil or something similar or is there something natural i can use? and something that will work within 2 months!!!

any advice would be much appreciated

TIA!

I had the same problem. I tried EVERYTHING and I swear this is true - I stopped using all face cleansers, moisturisers, absolutely anything on my face whatsoever, and my skin cleared up.
And also, now this may sound strange, but it totally worked for me too. Someone told me that if you get one of those crystal stick deodorant things (all natural, stone deodorant thing, from the healthshop), and apply that to any spots you get it will clear them right up. And it did!
I noticed a positive difference after about 3 days.
Also, make sure you eat really well - lots and lots of fruit, veges and water.

I have had trouble with my skin and I have found the best cleanser to be the neutrogena oil free acne wash (orange bottle) and I have tried just about all the cleansers you can get. I tried Proactiv but it didn't work for me, it just burned my skin because it's really strong- so if you think your skin can handle it try it but if not I wouldn't, especially so close to your wedding.

Also I know the GP can sometimes give you pills that will help with skin, not roaccutane but something milder so might be worth having a chat with them
