Since been told i have ibs about three years ago i started to develop mild acne on my cheeks and jaw line too. Never had problems with my skin before this. I don’t know if the two are linked in any way. Just wondering if anyone else had the same situation?

Ibs & acne
Hey!
Yes! I too have started to suffer with spots more so on my jawline and neck? I thought mine was linked to the mini pill, but maybe it is IBS? I've tried an antibiotic for my face but it hasn't helped! I'm 40 and feel like I'm a teenager again!! Haha!! Xx
I have some on my forehead, too old for acne! I think it might be associated with the constipation i have with ibs
Yeah it is not nice and been trying everything to clear it for years. Tried creams and lotions from doctors. I just wanted to see if anyone had it to. As i have had a look online and it says its possible the two could be linked.
Yes me too. I get lots of tiny bump-like spots all over my face, which I'm told is a sign of poor digestion (no surprises there!).
