I think if you are prone to acne or have had to deal with it, you might be more sensitive to having flare-ups with these hormone-inducing herbs. I always had problems with adult acne until I started to reduce certain foods in my diet that I was sensitive to. Since then, my acne cleared up and I usually have decent skin (for years now).. but I started getting the same kind of acne again on these herbs, ever since I started taking them. Right now I have 2 huge ones (cystic type.. boo) and noticed 2 more spots trying to flare up. Argh! I am going to cut out the wild yam and fenugreek and see if that helps. Reluctant to stop the PM since everyone says it works for them. If I still get so many acne flare-ups, I may just try massage and nb, and that is it.
