Re: Problem w/ post op acne

[Guest guest]

Hey a,

Glad you brought this up! I went through puberty with a maximum of maybe 5 zits

and in the past month along my jaw line I have had a ton of acne big ugly zits.

I am guessing its hormonal but I cant believe I am developing a " pizza face " at

my age has anyone else had serious acne post-op and I dont mean the little white

bumps but the big ugly pustulences that require a paper bag?

with some white, itchy bumps on my forehead and arms. The condition

cleared up after a short time but a friend who had her surgery right

before me had the same thing and it cleared up but has recently

returned. Has anyone had this experience and do any of you know what

causes this condition in the first place? Some have thought it was a

vitamin deficiency or something, but mine occured directly post op so

I tend to think it was from the anesthesia or something else but that

would not explain why it would return after so long. Could it be

hormonal or something? Any responses would be appreciated. Thanks!

This has been discussed before, both here and on DS_PostOp_Friends.

Opinions offered included: fat-soluble hormones from rapidly-released

fat deposits and/or rosacea:

dermatitis of the face, especially of the nose and cheeks,

characterized by a red or rosy coloration, caused by dilation of

capillaries, and the appearance of acnelike pimples. Also Called acne

rosacea.

I, too, had the pimples for a few days post-op, and they went away.

Cripes! Don't tell me my cea is gonna flare post-op! Yikes.

Actually, my cea isn't all that bad, rarely get the papules

(little pimples), but have had a lovely time of flushing (but treated

by photoderm last year quite successfully).

Crossing my fingers I don't have a gnarly flare up though!

Remember: I said that this was an opinion expressed by some members,

and also, not everybody gets every complication in the known universe.

True, but I wouldn't be surprised. Surgery is traumatic and

conditions like cea react to trauma - so does Psoriasis, perhaps

I'll have a flare in two areas (as I'm blessed with both). I'll just

be the twig in the stream though and go with the flow...if I flare, I

flare. Just thinking about one more thing to prepare, can't get any

funner than this! (grin)

Amy,

I suffer from cea when stressed out also. Look at it this

way...we can hide the red with makeup, but I have a hell of a time

erasing my hips with Maybelline! ROTFLMAO! Still looking forward to

our post op shopping spree...hell, we will just hit the makeup

counters too!

Hugs,

T

Amy,

Rolling my eyes. I can't believe how patient you have been. Now, I

am tossing roosters and eating cats..or whatever it is we do in order

to ensure a speedy approval!

Everyone ... Amy has had the patience of JOBE. Keep her in your

prayers for part one of her journey...that her insurance gives her an

immediate approval!

Weeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaw girlfriend. I am so excited for you!

Thank you Honey - holey mother and throw me a saint too, this has

been an ordeal! But, along with roosters, I'm saving toenail

clippings as an offering to the insurance approver gawds out there

(ewww, grossed myself out on that one even!). hehe

Hoping for a quick approval so I can get on with this thang already

and have my 12/3 surgery date happen!

Oh, my 15 page fax is on the way to me too, apparently - for my

records - good call on that one! :-)

Hugs!
