Default Just curious..

Those of you on Femara.. did it make you break out? I feel like i'm in High School again, my face is breaking out and it started right when I started on the Femara! I went to the store last night and got that new Clean & Clear Acne treatment, I'm really hoping that this works. Do any of you know something better that would work? I've tried Proactive and that did NOTHING for me!

It did the same thing for me when I was on Clomid. I was horrified when I started breaking out. I was off of meds this last month and it went down tremendously and BAM, I start Femara and it's back with avengence.

OMG, yes!!! As soon as I start Femara I get acne on my chin. It's horrible and I feel like I want to walk around with my hand over my face.

I've tried using a toner with an alcohol base to try and dry out my chin, but I don't think it's made much of a difference.

eee.....sorry girls I actually did not have that S/E from Femara but I know everyone’s body is different and the hormones changed everything. GOOD luck and I hope your S/E's are not too bad.

Yes, I've had bad skin the whole time I've been on Femara, unfortunately, and so far, nothing has really helped. If the drug works though, it's a s/e I can live with (as much as I don't like it!)

Ok, I've been using that Clean & Clear Acne and it's really helping. It's not all the way gone, but I can tell a big difference.
