Thanks for the advice Rolanda.  This is just particularly bad acne and I don't think OTC cleansers are going to take care of it.   It has already lasted longer than a couple of months.  It's really horrible and I'm a "picker" so I have scarred myself up something horrible.

Anyway, I'm great other than this little problem.  How are you and the hubby? We should get together.

Hey Lia,

I went through the acne phase, too. Mine was fairly early out, though, from months two to five. I asked Dr. Houston about it on one of my visits and he'd never heard of such, but I know people on here have had it. I normally use Oil of Olay cleansers, and added Sea Breeze during the breakout. Then after running its course, it just spontaneously went away.

How have you been? I was just thinking about you over the weekend.

Rolanda

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow.  Hope you have a very speedy recovery.

I didn't have to do the drink.

Hey Girlie!!!! i get it everyonce in a while and i just use face cleanser and scrubbs.... i know at our age WTH zits? seriously? how are you doing? I am fine just getting along

Does anyone have a dermatologist in the Atlanta area they can recommend?  Familiarity with WLS patients would be a plus as I seriously think this is related to my DS as I have never had acne like this in my entire life.

I have been dealing with this annoying acne on my jawline for the last several months.  I understand it is fairly common with DSers and I have tried the vitamin remedies with no luck. And it doesn't seem to be a hormone issue either.  I need to seek the advice of a dermatologist now.

Has anyone gone through this and have any advice to offer?

Thanks,
Lia
