Acne !!

oneoftwo · 11-28-2011, 02:55 PM

My skin during my TOM the last two months while doing hcg has been horrible ! I have not broken out this much since I was a teen.

So glad next month I will not be on hcg during my TOM, hoping my skin will be better and I will not be the skinny girl with pimples anymore

My acne is worse when I am on hhcg, too -- by quite a margin. I've struggled with hormonal acne for a few years, but hhcg kicked it up a huge margin... and it isn't just during TOM, though that is when it is worst.

I am hoping to be done with hhcg forever by the beginning of the year, and hoping for better skin along with it!

my skin has been blackhead-ish and just not awesome. I can't wait to eat more fats again. my skin is DRY, man.

Natural hCG during pregnancy did that to me, too. It's a stinky side effect, but worth it for the weight loss (or babies, in the previous case

).

I've been applying topical benzoyl peroxide to control mine and it has been working well, maybe that is something you can look into for the duration of your treatment, if the pimples get to be too much to handle?
