Hi and thanks for the query,
It might be very necessary to get a complete reevaluation form a gynecologist. Its important also to know whether you were prescribed any drugs after surgery or not. Some of these drugs are hormones and could interfere with normal body physiology to cause certain unwanted signs and symptoms as such.
Acne especially of long duration might deserve to be evaluated by a dermatologist. Options like specific acids, Courses of low dose doxycycline or creams might be helpful . All these require specialist consultations for they might take time to produce required effects or might react differently in different clients.
Thanks and hope this helps,
Best regards, Luchuo, MD.
