How can you get rid of a white head that keeps popping up? It only pops up on my chin and its starting to get very annoying. My chin is the only place i have gotten increase amount of acne.

Lol yes the lemon helps and I know the toothpaste does. Also you can buy a bottle the of hydrogen peroxide at the dollar store or somewhere and wash your face with that... It might sting a little and fizzle but it will kill the germs causing the acne. Just wash your face afterwards with warm water... It has a funny smell too but it helps alot

I use fresh lemon slices! Rub it on after you've washed your face leave it on for like a minute (it will feel tingly or burn a little) an rinse it off! Works amazing for me. I have gotten so much acne since being pregnant also.... no bueno

I agree with BabyFarris .. Apple Cidar Vinegar is very effective and all natural (: not the best smell in the world but it does the trick !

Put a small dab of toothpaste on each pimple before bed and it will help to dry them out. Also just make sure to wash your face every day. I think it's just something you have to deal with though. My akin was bad for my entire first trimester and until about 23w. Once your hormones settle a bit it should ease up. :)

I'm just dealing with mine but my friend recommended an acne face wash for pregnant women. She thinks it's made by baby bell or belly bell or something like that. Good luck!
