Severe acne post-op
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi everybody! I'm a 21yo female who got surgery recently. It has been a week and I have found that suddenly I am covered in pimples- everywhere. Tiny little white heads that look like a rash- and I cannot get rid of them. With my surgery, I initially went in to have my appendix removed due to severe pain, however along the way they discovered I had an ovarian cyst and a few lymph nodes (all got removed).
I have read online that ovarian cysts cause acne. So I guess the question is - would the removal of the cyst have caused the same? Or could it just be a reaction from something I took in the process? I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what is causing this sudden outbreak- the curiosity is killing me. I am young, however I have never been one to get many pimples- especially to this extent.
If anyone out there has any ideas or answers it would be incredibly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, it's most likely due to hormonal changes if you had a cyst removed. It should clear up but if not go to a pharmacy and ask if they have something you can use on your skin to help them heal and disappear more quickly. Good luck, Poll

I've had a little bit of break outs post surgery but they put me on hormone therapy so I think that has something to do with it and my body is adjusting.
