I’m currently on tretinoin for acne, and I have a hormonal IUD for endometriosis

IUD could be a factor as well

It probably could, but I’ve been struggling w hormonal acne since before the IUD so I don’t know if it changed anything

I’m so sorry that sounds rough but honestly maybe start with treating ur hormones through diet and checking them through ur blood test to see what ur low on. Ik drinking green tea and spearmint tea is good for ppl with endo. Eating Whole Foods, warm drinks, cooked veggies(easier for digestion) I’ve seen ppl do acupuncture and since it doesn’t only target their face it releases a lot of the inflammation in the face/body-

Thanks for the advice :) I had my bloodwork done pretty recently and I’m low in vitamin D just from the environment I live in, but I’ve started a supplement regimen so I’m hoping that can help. I’ll def try out the tea and more veggies!! Ty again

You should look into the anti-inflammatory diet, castor oil packs may help too
