Hello
I'm currently on Elleste Duet 1mg and it is helping a little bit in alleviating some of my meno symptoms.
My main problem now, is one of the side effects that I've not seen mentioned before - spots.
Before meno I would get a "hormonal breakout" a week before my period. When I started on the meno this cleared up. Now I'm on HRT I'm back to getting the breakouts again and it's really miserable. They are big, painful red lumps on my chin which leave nasty purple scars. They are exactly the same as when I used to get them before a period.
I try all sorts of cleansers, spot creams, tea tree oil but the problem is the rest of my skin is obviously mature and more dry, so "acne type" skincare dries out the rest of my face.
I think my skin thinks it's 15 again, instead of 51!
Does anyone know how I can control the breakouts? Please?
Help!
