This is my 2nd cycle on Gonal-F and I have what seems to be 2 bright red, cystic pimples on my temple. ?I usually NEVER get pimples! ?And these are really odd-looking. ?They almost look like insect bites, but I haven't been bitten by anything! ?Anyone else?

    i get those but on my chin with follistim and when i was on clomid.  as soon as i feel the soreness i use a rubbing alcohol wipe to clean the area - it dries it out.  wouldn't recommend if you have dry skin to begin with...  it doesn't always make it go away but it keeps it from getting bigger.  hth

    I got it from something, not sure what.  My face is much clearer since I've been on a break.  Try Neutrogena Rapid Clear fight and fade gel.  It works the best of anything I've tried.

    Through all of my treatments with Clomid and Follistim, my face has had it rough.  I feel for you because the pimples you talk about are the worst.  I use a face wash with salicynic acid (?) and it seems to help.  I hope they go away soon.
