Graves Disease and acne?

Manda29

I was dx just over a year ago and have had really bad acne for about 10 months now. I thought it may have been from the prednisone, but I have been off of that for 5 months now and it is not getting any better! Any idea what it is from? Is it from being hyper, tapazole or still from the steroids?
Thanks for any help!

Usually it is associated with a spill off of progesterone into an above amount of testosterone in the body.

I have Hashimoto's, but whenever my body swings to hyper mode, I get the acne all over my scalp, face and chest. I have no idea why. Nizoral helps the scalp. I haven't found anything for the face other than washing and using lots of concealer.
