I am trying to deal with it in the hopes my boobs will grow and the acne will stop when I can finally stop taking herbs. We'll see. I am tempte to stop the herbs altogether and jst noogle and massage though as the acne is really bad (cystic and constantly have 1-2 on my face)
I just wanted to link to this article that helped me a bought of acne that I got recently. It came on soo quick and was really bad - like nothing else I've ever experienced in my life so I knew it was from my NBE herbs.
It's a pretty simple formula really: high amounts of estrogen with relatively low amounts of progesterone combined with too much DHT can cause acne. Note that it's not really "too much estrogen" but rather a high estrogen: progesterone ratio (combined with DHT) that's the issue.
I cut PM out (sadly bc I do think that helps with my NBE) and doubled the amount of saw palmetto I'm taking and that has caused my acne to basically disappear within a week.
Here's the link to the article
