Hi there

 

If your skin break outs are happening due to your cycle, birth control pills may help.  Some doctors also suggest using a course of oral antibiotics. 

 

The best way to help treat your acne is to seek the help of a dermatologist.  I suffered from adult acne for years and years but when I went to a dermatologist that is when I was finally able to get rid of my acne. 

 

Here are some articles which may help you.

I hope this helps.  Thank you for your question.
