Getting pimples before you get your monthly period is a totally normal thing. Just before getting their periods, women tend to undergo sever hormonal changes which can alter the hormonal imbalance of their bodies. In some cases, women can experience symptoms such as stomach cramps, leg cramps, lower back ache, bloating, moodiness and a general feeling of aches and pains in the entire body. In other cases, there is a general drop in the quality and texture of the skin as well as hair. There is nothing abnormal about this. Of course, this does not happen to everyone but on the whole, this is nothing to get alarmed about. The residual marks that your pimples are leaving behind are also not a cause for unduly concern. Given time, they will fade away on their own. Keep in mind that symptoms of menstruation do not always remain the same. They tend to change every now and then. No one can predict exactly how long a single type of symptom will last, so you should not try to apply a time line to it either. Generally, you can take care of your diet and skin care routine, particularly just before your periods are due.
Try to cut back on eating fried stuff as well as food that is rich in salt and sugar. If you cut back on salt, you will suffer much less from bloating, which is actually more of a result of water retention than anything else. Excessive intake of fried food will tend to give you more pimples, so you are better off avoiding this too. Apart from this, you should also make it a point to increase your water intake to about 10 to 15 glasses a day. This will help to keep your skin moist and hydrated and will give you less pimples even when you are not suffering from your periods. You should also try your best to get in at least 30 minutes of exercise on a daily basis. This will also help to regulate all the processes of your body, apart from keeping you in general good health. If you follow these methods for at least six months, and still see no change in your pimples or the marks they are leaving behind, then you should consult with a gynecologist. It is possible you may be suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome, but only a doctor will be able to determine this.
