Pregnancy Acne - am I the only one?

Question

Am I the only one experiencing such bad and horrific pregnancy acne? Where's the radiant glow that everyone goes on about :(

My cheeks and chin area looks like a rocky bumpy road and nothing is helping. I have tried coconut oil, tea tree oil, hot water steam to open pores.....

I never suffered with acne before and now I have so many dark spots from scars and roughly 10 new zits a day.

Any one going through the same and found some relief?

Answer

I have it bad on my back 😔 i haven't had backne since I was in high school!

Answer

I don't have any on my face but have had the worst back acne. I hate it!! I've never had body acne before and this is all over my back and it's terrible. 😫

Answer

I haven't been having more acne than usual but my skin looks so gross the past few months!! Like the skin around my neck and elbows is red, patchy dry itchy.. Ive never had this my whole life

Answer

Mine goes through spurts of being bad then being okay again. I love ole henrikson products and they're all pregancy safe. Ive also been cheating and using my salicylic pink grapefruit wash a couple times a week 😳. Mine are awful blackheads and it's deep on my cheeks. I'm just waiting for it to be warm enough to go outside in the sun. Usually that's the only thing that helps it.

Answer

Same here! Smh, my cheeks and chin too. Within these last two weeks my chin went from clear to just horrible & I try not to bother them but I do anyway, so now I'm stuck with dark spots and and more acne just popping up. 😠 hate it

Answer

Rodan and Fields unblemish has been a LIFESAVER for me! I'm so glad I've found it. My doctor approved it and it has completely cleared my face. Check it out here-- njames1.myrandf.com :)

Answer

A topical called erythromycin. They normally prescribe an oral medication but because I'm pregnant...ya know. If this doesn't work after2-3 weeks they also prescribed an antibiotic to see if that helps. Fingers crossed something helps!

Answer

Just went to the derm today. He gave me some topical for this rash like acne I have. I've NEVER had skin like this--not with other pregnancies or even in my teenage years!! Ugh:(

Answer

Nope you're not alone, I've never had acne and since I hit my second trimester I broke out everywhere face back and even chest. It's horrible

Answer

Mine is awful! Nothing works b/c it's hormonal not due to a dirty face. It sucks! 😖
