Acne!

Is it normal to have breakouts every day? I'm 31 weeks today and I have had acne all over my chest, shoulders arms and lower jaw. Also is there a safe way to treat while pregnant? I'm so aggravated with the itchy skin and scarring left from the old bumps. It's not cute at all.

It's the hormones going crazy! I had horrible ance all over in the beginning and now I'm 30 weeks and it's coming back! Be careful when using products and check with your doc on what's safe. I found out a yr ago that I'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide. Good thing I wasn't pregnant at the time.

It is normal...hormones are the devil. Lol. With my daughter I broke out like a teenage boy...This time I may get one or two every now and then. I treated with pre go safe stuff with my daughter but nothing worked. Ur skin should return to normal once ur little one gets here.
