I came off the pill 7 months ago and ever since coming off I have suffered from adult acne on my face, neck and chest. I have been to my doctor and have truied 2 different types of antibiotic and neither have worked. I am getting married in 6 months time and do not want to be spotty! I am tempted to go back on the pill but it is not ideal. Does anyone have any ideas???

That's quite normal after coming out of pill as your natural hormones are trying to balance themselves. Besides pills tend to dry out the skin quite a lot anyways. It took me about a year before my balance was back to normal. Meanwhile a good dermatologist should be able to help you out!

This is not unusual. How about trying out the mini (progesterone only) pill. It may help. Otherwise it will be a case of waiting for you body to adjust to the non pill hormone levels, this can take up to a year.
Try steaming you face, this will help open the pores and remove debris. There are many over the counter spot remedies but I would be careful with them, consult a pharmacist about the best choice for you.
Long term antibiotics can be helpful but again these can cause problems (side effects and antibiotic resistant bacteria).
Good luck in sorting teh problem and enjoy your special day.

LOL I misunderstood your question i presumed you meant an entire diverse style of recognizing... i became going to allow you understand it might and to positioned on a pantiliner. yet i did not get from now on zits by way of combating the pill. I in simple terms have been given longer, heavier, and extra painful sessions (and at last have been given pregnant). once you're in contact get some proactive for preventative drugs, and in simple terms use the facewash daily til the marriage.

have you seen a dermatologist yet? you have 6 months to go and a dermatologist should be able to clear you up in time for your wedding. if your doctor is a derm, i would get a second opinion
