there really isn’t anything you can do its caused by the hormones try a birth control ortho tri cycln it is not only a birth control but helps control acne..two for the price of one

ask your doctor about this, but i heard that there is a type of acne medicine that gives you bad acne for a month or so, and then u never experience acne ever again…

Why don’t you just leave it alone since it only comes during your period. It’s not like you have pimple on your face all year long. Don’t worry it’s just adolescence after that they will go away.

Stick to one acne product. Do not mix it up because it would be worse than not washing your face at all.

I used to have the same problem and my doctor put me on birth control. It’s great for acne, cramps and gives you a lighter flow during periods! Oh, by the way. Oily foods don’t cause acne. ☺

you could try taking a pill antibiotic. Or sometimes birth control, it pills would to calm acne but it is a risk of taking a pill when it is not for your period just for acne - talk to your doctor about it
