I'm active but because of my work schedule I can't work out that much. I also have terrible acne across my shoulders and back. I was placed on norethindrone 7 weeks post surgery. I am miserable.

Acne ovrr shoulders and back after removal of ovary can be due to hormonal imbalance.go for hormonal assay to confirm it.
Usually acne on shoulders is monophorous type.it presents as papules and pustules all over shoulders and back leave hyperpigmentation after healing.
It can be treated with application of retino a 0.05 percent at night time marks are cured by kojic acid.if no response go for mandelic acid chemical peels
