Acne - AFter delivery
by krithi, Oct 25, 2007 11:03PM
Hello Dr.
I delivered a baby before 5 months. I had a clear skin. But suddenly past one month I suddenly developed Acne in my fore head cheeks and slowly it is spreading to nect & breast.
When i consulted my dr he said my oil glands are over working since I am nursing my baby he cant give any antibiotic only give external application. I am much worried. Is there any treatment available internaly which will not affect my baby.
Please help
regards

It is common to experience acne in the early stages of pregnancy and after delivery since it is a hormonal problem. You cannot take oral acne remedies until you have finished nursing, as they may pass into breast milk. Do not apply external remedies to your chest while you are breast-feeding. if you still have acne when you finish breast-feeding try antibiotics, but i think it will clear up when your hormones settle down. In the meantime pamper yourself with some lovely products for oily skin such as those by estee lauder or clarins, and enjoy your baby. Loiloi
