Hmmm... Adult acne or well water?

[Aquilah]

I'm assuming the reason I've begun breaking out for the first frickin' time in my life is due to the harsh well water we're using. I've never had a problem before! Sure, I'd get the one or two zits before my monthly cycle, but that's it! Now, I suddenly get 4-5 at a time, or mini-clusters on my forehead! UGH! It doesn't necessarily bother me a lot, especially since MK Blemish Toner helps knock them out within a day or two, but it is annoying. Hopefully when we buy our house it's got public water, or at least a water softener and chlorine filter on the well... I've never used well water until we moved here to NY, so I'm thinking that's what the problemo is considering I haven't changed my skin care regime... At least to me and my MK rep... Just needed to do a small rant there...

What about mu or hair care products? Those can also clog your pores!

Also, some allergic reactions can resemble acne... and some reactions don't necessarily appear where you would expect; for example, my mom once tried a nail polish she was allergic to and she got a rash on her neck!

You may be right about the well water, but those were just some random thoughts of mine!

I would see a dermatologist to find out for sure!

Nope, no allergic reactions to makeup and I don't use hair care products. Believe it or not, the zits keep coming up in the same places/area, and I didn't pop them to begin with. It's not a constant battle, just irritating about twice a month... Like I said, I've been using the MK Blemish Toner and it's working well. Hey, if you can't really see them in my FOTDs (or at all), then it's all good! *lol*
I have a huge feeling it's the well water. I've had a few minor changes in my skin alone since moving to NY. I mean, my poor body did just spend 10 years in GA, and 6 in NC before that! I'm more used to the Southern weather *lol*
