I am 32 years old never suffered from acne proir to my 3rd pregnancy, and going off off birth control. My son is almost 2 1/2 and I'm still having te acne that began with him at pregnancy. I also believe stress, and the prescription drug Celexa is also a contributing factor. I tried to go off of it for about 6 weeks, and I was able to reduce my stress periodically, and my acne was noticably better, even gone at times. However, since my stress factor increased again, and I started taking celexa again my acne is back as it was before (moderate). My skin is not oily in fact a normal combination for my age.
I'm faithfully using a quality skin care maintenance program (for 20's skin), weekly vitiman D mask, and I take flax seed oil capsules. I've also done microderm treatments. I do not have sensitive skin, and I don't believe it's a reaction to my skincare. I do think it's a hormonal imbalance, and stress. I am considering asking for a prescribtion change to see if that would help, but is their any other ideas or suggestions out there?
