Title: My skin
Post by: lily on June 19, 2013, 08:01:01 PM

Has anyone had very sore spots on face during peri?  I have tried facepacks, different creams, antibiotics from dr, zinc - nothing helps,. It,s getting me down, worse looking face than I had as a teenager.

Yes I am getting lots of spots on my face and back. I am trying to ignore them.

Here is the explanation

Stress can cause testosterone to increase  and if estrogen levels are falling too it can cause the upsetting spots.

Have you tried Clearasil Ultra  Rapid Action Treatment Cream?
