Adult Acne Menstrual Cycle

Where do you start in diagnosing female issues without seeing a doctor?


I am a 37 year old female.I have been experiencing breast tenderness, extra drainage and different menstrual cycles. Some cycles are heavy. Some are light. I experience headaches with some. The flow is heavy one day, then barely spot, then nothing, then more spotting. It lasts the same duration every month. (5-7 days) Any ideas on where to start? The last blood work I had done was in Sept.2007 and everything was in the normal ranges. I also have adult acne which flares up with the hormone changes, but never completely goes away. Is there other options than taking the expensive pill every month to regulate hormones, if that even is the problem.

sounds like early menopause

The Best Ways To Banish Adult Acne

Picture this, you’ve survived his or her teenage years relatively unscathed by the dreaded acne and then all of a sudden when you are in your twenties, acne develops.

You’re embarrassed and extremely anxious to get this problem solved.  Yesterday!

You see, about 95% of all Americans will, at some point develop at least a mild case of acne in their teenage years but did you know that about 25% of men and about 50% of women will have acne at some time in their 20s, 30s, or 40s.

Sometimes adults will have an acne outbreak after a radical and prolonged change in diet and so they believe the outbreak is caused by something they ate. This isn't what happened, though. On the contrary, the outbreak is usually caused by something that they’re not getting enough of.

The problem facing adults who have acne is that the vast majority of acne fighting products available are made to prevent adolescent acne.  This is a real problem because these products have very drying properties and those are not recommended for adults.

You see adult skin has already begun to lose elasticity and collagen and premature wrinkling has become a concern even in adults who are only in their twenties. When acne occurs in people over twenty, they really should see a dermatologist as soon as possible.

There are many medications, both oral and topical, that can clear the acne up and help to prevent the scarring that untreated acne can cause. Adult acne usually requires medications that are stronger than those which are used to treat teen acne.

Many times adult acne is caused by hormonal changes that need to be treated by a physician.

Beginning or stopping birth control pills can cause acne in adult women as can problematic menstrual cycles.  If either of these circumstances are present for you, consult your physician.

As with teen acne; keep your face clean by washing with a mild soap or a facial cleansing product using your fingertips do not use a wash cloth.  Do this twice a day. Keep your hair away from the face when sleeping and frequently change your pillowcases.
