hysterectomy

Hi I have always suffered from acne even now at 47.  I am 5 weeks post op after hysterectomy but after suffering a few night sweats, my doctor gave me Premarin oral HRT.  It is 5 days now and although the night sweats have eased, my acne has become worse.  My doctor said that this eostrogen alone hrt may help the acne, do I need to give it chance?  Is it normal to get worse before better?

Thankyou for this.  I have sat for hours on the internet looking at it and cannot find anything positive about it.  I am due back at work soon and want to feel healthy.  I have pulled myself together today and decided to venture down to the health shop for more natural remedies.

Thankyou kindly

Premarin does not contain just Estrogen.It also contains other hormones. I would not recommend this med to anyone. That is just my opinion. I am not a Dr and I can not tell you what you should and should'nt do. Will you please think about another med though?
