34 pimples are a nightmare

34 female, breaking out all over my chin. Take the mini pill for birth control but sick and tired of teenage skin. My neck is now breaking out, chin, cheeks.

What minipill are you on?
I'm 42 and have the same issue, also on the mini pill.

My GP gave me this acne cream (acnatac) - something like that and it helped a lot. It is expensive like $60 but it has lasted a year now. I wash my face at night then put that cream on my chin. After about a week, not a single pimple!
I stopped using it for a few months and sure enough the acne is back. Gotta get back to it.

Im on Noriday, please let me know if you are on Noriday too?

The pill depletes zinc. Low zinc has a relationship with pimples and acne. You could try supplementing with zinc picolinate.
