Adult acne

I need your advice ladies......im 47 and have bloody pimples. Does anyone else have this problem?
I havent had clear skin for 6 months now - in that 6 months lve had the mirena removed and a hysterectomy, come off all depression medications and am eating much better. I never had this many spots even as a teenager.
Im at a loss , lve tried mineral make-up, no soap or fragrance skin care....even with weeks of no make up lm still getting break outs.
I wish masks were still mandatory so l could constantly hide my face.
Any adult acne remedies would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I'm assuming they left your overies?

Your body has just been hit with a big change and your hormones will be all over the place. I'd talk to your dr and ask for a hormonal blood test, you can get medication to clear it up.

I have cyctic acne, so I suggest, In the mean time, use witch hazel morning and night, and find an oil free moisturiser, something with retinal will work wonders. Change pillow cases every second day and a fresh towel daily
