Acne After Taking Gardasil. Hormonal Balance Affected?
My daughter also broke out with acne after receiving garvasil. She started getting huge red cyst like bumps on her face. She went to bed and woke up one morning full of acne. The only thing that was changed in her diet , lifestyle was that she got her first shot of the series of three shots. It must have altered her hormonal balance somehow because she is also claiming she is sweating more. Do any of the ingredients effect your hormonal balance?

Hi,
thanks for writing in.
The acne is condition occuring due to hormonal imbalance.
Diet or gardasil does not play significant role.
You can use brevoxyl cream over the affected area twice daily .
Also you can use a good antibacterial soap like SOAPEX soap for bathing.
Few prescription drugs and antibiotics can help a lot in cure of this problem.
Hope this helps.
I encourage you to visit a qualified dermatologist for confirmation of diagnosis and prescription medicines.
Regards.
