ANYBODY ELSE HAVING SKIN PROBLEMS SINCE BEING ON PREOP DIET? i AM HAVING AN OUTBREAK (ACNE). 1ST ONE IN FOREVER!

I get a rash off and on. Doc said it's a reaction to the trauma of losing so much weight so fast. I just use Cortizone cream and that seems to help. It comes and goes.

I didn't have a pre-op diet per se (I had to lose 10% of body weight and could do it however I wanted), but post-op I have some minor skin issues. I rarely get acne but used to get rosacea. Post-op I had a little circle of red bumps on my chin, but I don't know if it was small acne or rosacea. It went away at around 5 weeks post-op.
