Sexual Activity (Heavy Petting) And Acne Connection?

I had a heavy petting session with my boyfriend yesterday, and the next thing I noticed when I woke up in the morning was my forehead covered in huge bumps.

This never used to happen three years ago when I'd do similar things with my ex. At the time I was sixteen.

I've always been acne-prone, having oily skin and all but succeeded at keeping pimples at bay the natural way (sans treatment) by the time I turned 15.

I suffered from an eating disorder a couple of years ago and have struggled with getting my weight up since. Right now I am at a normal weight for my height (BMI = 19), and my menstrual periods are regular. Oddly enough, my face was clearest during my ED phase, although my hormones were clearly unbalanced.

I've noticed recently that my acne has worsened since I became attracted to this guy. My sleep cycle has also been disturbed: I used to be able to sleep for seven to eight hours straight in one night; nowadays, I wake up frequently in the middle of sleeping, and sometimes do not go to bed anymore after being roused.

Is it possible that my present acne flareup might have been triggered by the sexual activity?

could be the change in sleep cycle too...as difficult as it is, you really need to get the sleep you need
