Hi there, I'm trying to wrack my brains...could it be partly hormonal? Also are you drinking enough water , I always aim to 2-3 litres per day to help with all the extra fibre I'm eating. Hope it clears up soon x

Well done on losing 2 stone. I imagine you eating enough fruit, and drinking lots of water?
Have a look at this link - it might be relevant? nhs.uk/Conditions/Acne/Page...
I used to get acne every month linked to hormonal swings (and a tendency to eat chocolate which only made the situation worse). At least now I am post-menopausal, I don't get those wretched spots anymore! Got to be some advantages to getting old.....!
I would concur with the water to help with the constipation - my gut always reacts like that - as I had my gall bladder out 13 years ago it doesn't process fat properly so if I'm eating fat-ridden junk it goes through me like a dose of salts and makes my gut very lazy. Then when I go onto a healthier diet eating plenty of fibre it balks at the hard work and I do get quite constipated. I have to drink plenty of fluids to help the bulk soften and enable the gut to move it effectively - sorry this all sounds a bit gross but it helps me
