Post Partum acne

Hello all mummies, currently I’m 5 months post partum and just last month I developed bad acne on the back of my neck. I saw doctors, GP, dermatologists, nothing helped much except antibiotics (doxycycline). I had finished with the dosage already for a week or so and the acne is slowly coming back. It is also worse when I’m ovulating. Want to check if any mummies encountered the same issue post partum and if so; any solutions? 🥹 P.S. I also stopped using any hair products that might cause my neck to develop the acne (I.e. heavy hair mask, hair oil, tonic spray) Many many thanks in advance 🥹

I experienced postpartum acne too, mummy, although mine was on my jawline and neck 😭 My dermatologist said the hormonal fluctuations after birth can be quite intense, and I noticed it got worse around ovulation too. For me, it improved gradually as my hormones settled, but it took a few months. Since yours seems to respond to antibiotics but comes back, maybe it's worth discussing hormonal-related treatments with your dermatologist. Hope it gets better soon, mummy ❤️
