Zits!

8 weeks and breaking out - anyone else getting this? I had pretty bad acne as a teenager but I'm 38 and it's been a while! I guess maybe it'll make me look younger to have a big old zit on my chin, and one on my NECK, LOL? I know there are worse symptoms to have but still, just felt like complaining. :)

I'm sure I would have always had acne too, if I hadn't gone on birth control at 18 and stayed on it for 15 years! Wish they'd given it to me when I was 13, it would have been a kindness.

I have always had acne. It usually gets worse right before my period would start. During my first pregnancy my face was the clearest it had been in years. My back, however was a different story. It was riddled with acne throughout my pregnancy.  I am already starting to see that again, just at 5 wks.

Haha glad to hear it's not just me. Had one on my shoulder and one at the top of my back - definitely more "all body" than when I was a teenager! Crazy what these hormones do while they work their magic.
