Hormonal Acne?

I recently stopped taking the birth control pill because it was making me throw up every morning. Although the acne I had BEFORE I started the pill was not changed initially, now that I have discontinued the pill, my face is breaking out. Is there anything I can do to stop the acne? I use Differin lotion and a topical antibiotic (which have worked very well in the past), I have dry skin and seborrheic dermatitis, and I am allergic to benzoyl peroxide.

Hormonal Acne?
Yes, I used a search engine to find this, but read it before you snap at me. Perhaps you will find this useful.





"There are also several vitamins and herbs that help to stimulate the body to cleanse itself and get rid of the unsightly acne. Vitamin A helps the body reduce the production of sebum. On popular and dangerous, prescription drug, Accutane, is a high dose of vitamin A. The problem with this drug is that it can cause severe birth defects if a woman who is taking it becomes pregnant and it can also lead to depression in teenagers. It is better to take an over-the-counter Vitamin A supplement.





Zinc also helps to prevent acne, as well as heal current breakouts. Zinc helps to regulate the hormonal imbalances that can cause acne. Vitamin B6 is another helpful vitamin, particularly for women suffering from menstrual acne breakouts. The herbs sarsaparilla, yellow dock, cleavers and burdock take together help clear the body of lymph infections and therefore of acne. Tea tree oil can be applied directly to acne spots to help reduce the pain and appearance of the problem."





I also remember a column in Ann Landers maybe 20 years ago that suggested putting raw egg yolk on the face daily (like a mask) for I think it was a month. It was supposed to clear up the acne for good. I never got past a few days, so I don't know how well it works.
