Itchy Acne

[Duerrgirl]

About two weeks into this pregnancy I broke out like big time all down my chest and arms my entire face and neck. It gotten  a little better with switching face washes and other than my face and neck I'm almost clear but...now it itches like crazy and when I itch it gets worse!
Anybody else have itchy acne and how did you treat it?

I was super itchy last time around. So I asked a friend of mine who had 8 children. She said have an oatmeal bath. I thought that sounded nasty so I put it off for a week before I figured anything is worth a try. Totally worked!

I know the feeling. It's very irritating. Something similar happened to me. I had an outbreak of an very itchy rash on my forearms,wrists, stomach, and legs, and some places on my back. I don't know where it came from. I thought it could have been from New detergents or coming into contact with poison oak, but that wasn't the case. No matter what remedy I tried, it did not worth. Topical creams wouldn't help either so I had to get a steroid shot from Urgent Care because it had gotten unbearable. The shot helped clear the outbreak on my stomach, legs and the parts on my back. However I still have issues with it on my forearms and wrists. My doctor later diagnosed the rash on my forearms and wrists to be a form of eczema and gave me a prescription topical cream that helps with the itching.
