Q: Acne...acne And More Acne!!!

Anybody please help me, I am 12 weeks pregnant. My acne keeps getting worse and worse. I have tried proactiv, clean and clear even the herbal stuff. Nothing has worked. My face is always pink and pimples showing up everywhere. This can not be normal. I do not feel pretty anymore, I look at myself in the mirror and try to cover it with make up but it still shows through and gets worse. Sometimes I feel like my boyfriend does not even want to see me. It makes me cry. If anyone has advise lay it on me. Please. I can take the pain. Thanks.

I have very dry skin and a little acne...Not a lot but I didnt' have it before so it really bothers me. I am 13 weeks and it's a bother to me too. Ican't do creams as it makes me break out more...Don't know what to tell you...Its just a phase. Hopefully

I so understand I have bad acne worse with pregnancy and my periods I have tried everything and I mean absolutly everything my face is very oily so I get breakouts constantly. I found this stuff thats not even marketed for acne but for pores that works miracles boughtt it for facials (awhile back) avon sells it for 10$ a bottle (porefection mask) it either removes or makes it less visible. Whatever yo do dont use accutane dangerous during pregnancy and some other acne cleansers are as well~!

Good luck~!

Welcome to one of the very unpleasant side effects of pregnancy. I had the same problem and it did put a damper on my self- esteem. Just remember its only for about nine months. Also some acne treatments are not advisable during pregnancy. My doc was basicly like, you have to just live with it. I used dove soap to wash my face. It helped some but was no miricle solution.

Unfortunately, it is one of the many changes due to pregnancy. It is the hormones and increased oil secretion. I am now almost 30 weeks, and my face is just now finally starting to clear up.
