What Causes Acne Post Tonsillectomy?
Hello, I had a tonsillectomy in February 2015 and since then I have had horrible acne. I am 23 years old and never had acne in my life until now. I know it is highly unlikely that the surgery may have caused the acne, but I have nothing else to link it too.

Hi,
Unlikely related. I suggest you see a dermatologist or your own GP. A tonsillectomy should not in itself lead to acne.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
