Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Hi! I had surgery in December and my skin started breaking out shortly afterwards. I had never had a real problem with acne as a teen (I'm 27 now) and wasn't too happy to be dealing with an oily complexion as an adult, but my case was easily controlled with over the counter acne medication and making sure my face was clean. It's starting to become less oily now (4 months later) When I asked my surgeon about it - he gave me similar reasons to the ones Cammie posted - steroids, change in diet, stress,... Your son is still a teen so his hormones are probably still raging which doesn't help his case. I'm not a professional and everyone is different - all I can advise you to do is try any of the products out there that help with acne and oily skin. And see a dermatologist as soon as possible if his problem doesn't get better and/or is very serious. Good luck!
