ARG Acne!!! Too ashamed to show off new cleavage!

FabBri · 10-17-2007, 10:27 PM

Hey Ladies,

Sure enough, my poor new boobies are covered with pimples... I'm so looking forward to showing them off - maybe wearing some cute cleavage tops. But this acne is just too gross to show them off!

When did you start noticing it going away & is there anything you used that helped?

Thanks!!!!!!!

Bri

I still have a little bit but it's gotten MUCH better. Hope yours goes away soon!

mine went away at around 6 weeks post op....it took a while....i think its due to the skin stretching etc

I'm going through this right now. The itching on the both sides where the cleavage is and in the cleavage. Drivin me mad. I'm using some cortozone(sp?) on mine and it is helping with the itching. The little bumps are there still and I try to clean with alcohol pads. I think it drys up the acne but makes you more itchy at the same time. Pretty friggin confusing right? Oh and I don't know if it's just me being nuerotic but the cortozone smells a little funky when you rub it in.

^ I don't think drying them out with alcohol is a good idea. The hydrocortisone is good though.

Antibacterial soap and good moisturizer might do the trick.
Eucerin is my favourite moisturizer. It seems backwards but if you give the body clean moisture instead of letting natural sebum oils build up on their own, sometimes it helps acne. I swear I've cleared up many breakouts with Eucerin creams. I just can't trust my body to make its own oils. LOL

Bio Oil might be good at around this stage too.

Skin does dumb things when it stretches and I'm sure this will go away on its own but hopefully something above will help.

I used the same toner that I use on my face and that worked really well.

The good news bri is that they do eventually go, they drove me nuts for a while to. I just managed to get rid of them before I went on my hols but had a persistant 3 that just wouldnt go. By the way your looking really good from the piccys I saw of you hope your healing well otherwise.

Take care

They're so annoying hey? It's not even big pimples, but just lots of little red ones... I really hope they go by Nov 8th because I'm going on vacay!!!

Oh my gosh! I thought it was just me. This is crazy. This is the last thing I would have thought soemone would talk about and get responses with the same problem. Finally, something normal going on with me and my breast augmentation. I have just felt so gross. I agree with you that you can't even wear cleavage showing top. Anyway, to answer your question... I'm eight weeks and it's finally getting better (they leave a heck of a little scar-I hope those get better with a little sun or something)

elizabethmc · 10-18-2007, 11:06 PM

Is very good for scarring, even on acne scarring or so I have heard! Good luck

jeepGirl · 10-19-2007, 12:23 PM

swankyjo · 10-19-2007, 04:23 PM

I don't think everyone gets it - everyone is different right? Sounds relatively common though. Sucks don't it?

I didn't get them (so far) but I'm developing loads of hideous stretch marks.
