Help needed!!! please..
I'm 11 weeks pregnant and am having the worst acne.. I never used to get this much.. It seems its everywhere on my face and chest.. does anyone have any advice for me??
I had perfect skin until I got pregant. I know that proactiv made it worse but the clean and clear acne kit really helped. My skin broke out everywhere-my face, chest,back. My baby is already 4 months and my acne JUST cleared up. I am still dealing with a little bit but for the most part it is gone and now I am just dealing with all of the scars that it left behind. I am using the Neutragena acne mark fading cream. It is a small blue bottle that costs about 14 dollars. It smells really bad but it is seriously clearing up all of my scars and it came highly recommended by a friend that used to have acne. Good luck and don;t get discouraged. I know it can become very depressing but it is worth it for the baby. GOOD LUCK!
Ahhhhhhhhh... well I posted some sites but the MedHelp Moderator took them down (yes we have a mystery moderator---I even asked MH about moderating and they told me they hired someone---posters beware!!!).
Basically acne can be caused by dehydration of the skin. So if you hydrate with moisturizer and drink plenty of water, it can help in that department!

sorry for my typo...I'm a lil bit sleepy right now and my eyes are starting to blur on me...LOL
OOOH and I also use a moisturizer that contails LOTS of vitamin E in it. It's VERY good for your skin.
I've been using Neutrogena Anti Wrinkle Anti Blemish face wash for I don't know how long and I LOVE IT. It does contain Salicylic Acid and I had NO IDEA until today that you're not suppose to use it when you're pregnant. My lil boy came out just fine but after reading that I don't think I want to risk it this time if it true. But I'm still unsure of it....
