Question: How can I control my acne around my period?
I’ve used each prescription and advertised acne cure ever, almost. Right now the last ditch effort my physician gave me is Retin-a which is working OK. But around my period I still get gross whiteheads, cystic pimples that have to be popped and then scab over again and again and leave redness. I don’t want a huge gross zit on my wedding day in 6 mos! I wish I could take the pill to control my hormones but I can’t for medical reasons I don’t want to go into. Are there any home remedies I can try to keep zits away before I get my period?

Stay away from caffeine,chocolate and lots of sugar
During your menstrual your hormones are crazy and these products such as soda,chocolate and candy can really contribute to these breakouts

Have you tried intake fruits & drinking a lot of water during this time

Also be sure to stay away from this a week before your mentrual because this is building slowly under the skin

Hope this helps
