    Duh 30 Y/O sudden ACNE?

    Im thirty with a skin crisis. I've always had clear skin until suddenly- huge cystic eruptions, dark mark that don't heal all over my cheeks and chin.

    At first they thought it was hormonal and caused by my Mirena IUD, I had that pulled (oofda) and expected relief but 2.5 months later- my face looks the same.

    I also use typical retinol cream.

    Now I'm wondering if it's because I'm on topomax... Could I be the 2-3% that get terrible acne? AND WHY DON'T THEY TELL YOU THESE POSSIBILITIES?

    Anyone else had similar issues or serious cures? I was thinking about IPL??

    Is there a certain makeup to use for covering up those super dry pimples? It' like they seriously won't absorb.

    For a while at 27, I was getting bad breakouts on chin and jawline. I take Maxalt for migraines (not a preventative). My Dr said that it's somewhat common for women between late 20's and early 30's who normally have clear skin to breakout on lower half of face. And that it's hormonal. These were painful bitches too. I started washing my face as soon as I got home and putting witch hazel on them (like everytime I went to the bathroom lol) and they eventually just went away. It was weird. I'm on seasonique so I only have period 4x a year (my worst migraines are menstrual related so the less it comes the better).

    Also, use a concealer (a thick creamy or stick kind) that is a tad lighter and put it on the blemish after you do your normal foundation (assuming you use one or tinted moisturizer). Then sort of dab or tap around the edge with your finger to blend it in. If you put it on underneath the foundation it will get blended into the skin and not really hide anything.

    I have cysts on my ovaries and this is definitely a major source of my acne.
