I never had issues with acne! Not even as a teen. An occasional pimple around my period at most. I gave birth to my son >1 year ago (I'm 30) & I've had nothing but horrible acne around my mouth/jawline & under the "sideburn" areas. I'm currently using Retin-A. My doctor prescribed Aldactone. I took it briefly but stopped after reading it has the potential to cause tumors. I tried doxy for 3 months. I've seen little to no improvement! What else can I try without ill side effects? TIA!
