I'm 23 and I never had a problem with acne but since I've started Lupron my face has broken out. I asked my doctor about it as well and she told me the same thing.... it’s the hormones and she can't do anything for me...I've tried everything, but low and behold I found a face crème by Neutrogena that has cleared up my face quite noticeably. I'm not sure the exact name but it's a moisturizer combined with acne treatment. Plus spot treatments, like this little silver bottle from Clearasil, once again I don’t know the name…I’m not sure how bad your case is but for me this didn’t clear all of it but has made a noticeable difference.
