Help, Lactnetters, I have been trying to search the Lactnet archives for
information on severe adult acne and its association with breastfeeding.
There were a couple of posts recently on Lactnet, but they were
anecdotal.  What references or wisdom do you have to share on this
subject?  A client who had never had problems with acne and who is
breastfeeding for the first time has had to be treated for severe cystic
acne that was complicated by also having a yeast infection superimposed
on the acne!!  She has been on Monodox and Sporanox for a week, and she
has been pumping and dumping to preserve her milk supply.  She seems like
a really committed breastfeeding Mom, and I would like to be able to give
her some good information about her situation.  I'm concerned about her
taking the Sporanox, because Dr. Hale's book says that "large quantities
concentrate in fatty tissues, leakage from fat tissues into milk over
prolonged periods should be expected."  I am hoping that you can shed
some light on this topic, especially as to when she can safely put her
baby back to breast.  TIA                                Lois Warrington,
