Asked By:emtcibondi in Sydney, AU

Hi There, I have my breast augmentation surgery 7 weeks ago, I now have horrible acne on my chest, neck, face and upper back. My skin as become so sensitive and pimple rashes have become worse and my skin is very itchy. I have treated them with a scrub, antibacterial lemon myrtle soap, tea tree face wash, and I am on Minomycin 50mg. If you can provide any solution and clarify if it will eventually go away and if it has in fact been caused by the surgery. Thank you very much for your help.
