Skin breaking out

I finished tax about 6 months ago and I am having trouble with my skin....I seem to get this watery like blisters on my skin. Has anyone else had this problem or know why this might be happening? I wondered if maybe the medication has changed my hormones. I definetly gained some weight especially around my mid section which I had heard from a few of you and figured that it must be metabolism....I feel totally out of whack still!!! I have been off the medications since last fall!!! I was 3a and did 21 weeks and am UND. I would greatly appreciate any input or advice.

It could also be simple prickly heat, where some calamine lotion should help. But do have it evaluated by a doctor.

We can play "guess the skin condition" but you haven't given too much to work with:) In any event, you really have to see a dermatologist and get your skin properly evaluated. Yes, treatment can screw up the skin among other things. I had numerous skin problems during and post treatment all caused by interferon. OK, I'll guess :) You might have a form of tx induced rosacea. Or not. Please see a dermatologist for a better diagnosis.
