The hormones are just as crazy post partem/bfing as they are during pregnancy. Nobody ever tells you that.

I ended up blotting my face with a paper towel (or even a napkin) throughout the day. It seemed to help.

I also drank a ton of water. Literally, my pee was clear about 80% of the day. That seemed to help too.

I did both of these in addition to washing my face 2x a day and I noticed a difference in about a week. So give it time if you decide to try it.

I know it's aggrevating. I was in your same shoes not too long ago.

You can use a glycolic acid wash and a prescription topical gel. Not great but better than nothing. Go see a derm.
