Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place for my question, I was reading a thread recently by Cherryblossom (I think?) about developing severe acne post-natally and it got me thinking.

I have a long history of subcutaneous cysts and generally bad acne/skin that started when I was about 12yrs. I tried everything, topical treatments, BCP, anti-biotics and finally Roaccutane at 15yrs. I have taken Roaccutane a total of 3 times since then. Currently my skin is pretty clear with only the occasional cyst in odd places (like behind my ear lobe - WTF?) BUT DP and I are about to start TCC this cycle.

I am really interested in hearing from ladies who had a history of bad acne/cysts anytime prior to pregnancy - what did your skin do during your pregnancy and what did it do post-natally? Did the acne return with a vengance? Did anyone find they didn't get acne?

Just wondering how prepared (emotionally), I should be getting myself for the return of my acne.

Thanks heaps for any replies
