just yesterday i started to break out a little on my face, a few spots on my shoulder blades but not bad. i haven't had acne, at least not much, since i stopped having periods last october. usually birth control helped with that, too. now, obviously, i can't have periods. i am on premarin 1.25 mg daily. am wondering if it's just my body adjusting, or what precisely? i guess it would be about a week ago i *should* have had a period, except i haven't since my pregnancy and m/c. but if i were on a schedule still, it should have been the last week of the month. i did just have the hysterectomy 2 wks ago, and they took everything out, including the remaining ovary. soooooooooooo...is this normal? i'm not sure what to expect! i'm only 23, never thought i'd have to learn about menopause or symptoms this early!
thanks!!!

Hi Leslie.

This new acne is probably just your body adjusting to the new hormonal situation!  That happened to me at first also.  It should go away.  Probably it doesn't have anything to do with your previous period schedule since your "parts" are not there now.  If it doesn't go away or get better in a month or so, talk to your doc.  Keep resting up and don't overdo it!

Hugs,
