Also, I wear my compression garment as directed all of the time minus showering, I have a sit down job yet I find any inactivity aka not walking I get so stiff. Any suggestions on that? Thank you in advance.

I have all my patients use two products a scrub in the shower and a spray after that help with acne.  For the face, light salicylic acid peels and/or clear + brilliant help get rid of breakouts fast.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Physiologic stress such as undergoing an operative procedure can sometimes trigger an outbreak of acne. Usually no treatment is indicated but if bothersome you may want to consider a course of tetracycline.

Come up with excuses to go to the bathroom regularly and do some stretching exercises. The acne should go back to baseline soon enough. If you have a dermatologist, you may want to contact him or her. Sometimes Minocycline or Tetracycline can help. Sometimes direct low-dose steroid injections can help if breakouts are really bad.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.
