A member asked:

I am getting acne in my 3 month postpartum.. wat might be the reason? ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hormonal changes: Your body went through some major hormonal changes. As your normal cycles return, so will the acne. Birth control pills can reduce the acne and your dermatologist can help out too.
