You could be de-toxing and it's showing up in your face.  Just a thought.

Welcome to hormone release and impurity detox most likely.

Don't over scrub... Go gentle...

Supposedly this will pass. Or so I was told when I flipped over it about 16 days out.

Yay!! It's not just me! lol - sorry for the lack of sympathy but this is the first time I have seen anyone mention it. I figured it was the hormones and all but it is nice to know I was right  : ) I almost bought foundation and I NEVER wear foundation. This too shall pass.

I got it post op too. I get about 4 pimples a year normally, so it was very traumatic!...lol. I went with the "body getting rid of toxins/hormone release overload" theory too.

I don't get them anymore, although now my hair is falling out and I think of the two, I'd rather have the odd pimple!

I had my surgery on 12/20/12 and I have had horrible acne ever since.  I have pimples where I have never had them before, and I am currently treating one on my face that is the size of Mount St. Helens.  There Is no end in sight for me.  I am more apt to believe this is hormonal because since the surgery my monthly visitor has returned after a 2 year absence.  I am sure in time things will get better.
