Obviously Diane35 is the root cause of this. It's hormones pill. And what affects menstrual cycle? Hormones! Duh.

Garlic is good for our body. Take more garlic.

The last time I went on Diane35 for pimples, I had period for more than 3 weeks non stop. Gynae say takes some time for the body to adjust to it.

Anyways, Diane35 didn't solve my pimple problem. It didn't solve a lot of my friend's pimple problem either. Most of them come back after they stop. Now I'm on accutane for my pimples.

Get off Diane35, take care of your body, reduce stress as much as possible. See a proper gynae. Don't see a pharmacist.

Yea suck big time. But had no choice then because of an ovarian cyst. So had to go on the pill.
Pimples went haywire since then and tried all sorts for 2 years before I decided to go on accutane now. sad.gif

If you don't mind the smell, ever thought of using tamanu oil yet?

But my skin already so full of oil and clogged pores lol.
I have relatives who are into essential oil and also getting some dunno what essential oils for me.

But I'll stick to accutane for now and see how things go.

Tamanu oil are pretty well known for anti acne, problem is not many people can stand the smell of it. But good seed oils should absorb into your skin really quick without leaving greasy feeling, can't say the same for mineral based oils though. 

Oily skin & clogged pores ka.......my African black soap should be able to solve that one. But I don't have any with me now, or else could let you try.

I've tried african black soap before.

I don't really like oil based products though.

Wah seems like you've really tried most of other solutions lol....

Yea lor. What to do. Proactiv also tried before. Avoid dairy products also tried before. Facial, laser, antibiotics from dermatologist. I change my pillow cases every week or so. I hardly eat oily and spicy stuffs. I don't drink, I don't smoke.

The only things would probably be exercising more (then again some say sweating too much will clog pores also) and sleeping earlier, but I do get at least 8 hours of sleep every night. And avoiding the sun as much as possible, I love the sun lol. But I do use sunscreen.

how serious is your acne? I want to talk to my gynae about taking these pills for acne...but my mom wouldnt let me.  bye.gif

Hm. I would say it's moderate. Not that bad these days. But bad enough for people who has not seen me in a while to go "omg what happen to your skin?!" sad.gif

So even if it's not very bad but it still affects me. And I notice the scars are getting worse but I can't address that issue until the acne is cured. Was thinking better do it while I still not that old yet.

Gynae will most likely give you birth control pills which is diane35. Accutane need to be prescribed by a dermatologist. It's more expensive than diane35 and much more harmful. Just google the side effects. smile.gif

How big is your cyst? I think we got the same problem. mine was about 4cm. Did a small operation last month and take contraception as prescript by doctor. My period also goes haywire, until today already into the 3rd week. Im abit scare now. sad.gif

I think around that or smaller.

My period went haywire around January 2014. I had bad cramps when I didn't have period at all. Bled when my period was not due. My cycle used to be very stable but it became sometimes short sometimes long. Went to see Gynae and everything came out ok. So just monitor. Pimples got terribly bad. Went back to gynae in April and found a cyst. Then was put on diane35 for few months.

Every month went back to see gynae. After first month the cyst cleared up already. The first month of diane35, I pretty much had period everyday, at least also light to medium flow. It was seriously annoying. But 2nd and 3rd month, body adapted better to the pill I guess. And period came as per expected with the pill.

I stop after the 3rd month as I found that I didn't really like it. Took a while for my cycle to go back to normal. But now it's quite stable already, plus minus 1-2 days like that.
