Pregnancy ance?

I'm 38 weeks pregnant with a baby boy, my boyfriend and I are more than excited to meet our little blessing. Ever since I've been pregnant I've got horrible ance on my face chest and back, mostly my back...and it's only gotten worse the further along I get...the scarring is horrible and with it getting warmer I'm just too embarrassed to even wear a tank top...any other moms to be had this happen? And will it go away after birth? Please I feel so alone

I had it really badly in the first/second trimester..so badly I didn't want to leave the house, I used a bar of soap called vanicream you can get it on amazon, but more importantly I started taking zinc every day and it's cleared up completely and the scars are fading every day, zinc is what looks after the immune system and our bodies use our immune system to protect baby and momentarily forget about hair, skin and nails...after a month of taking zinc my skin is crystal clear :) also when your hormones settle down after birth it should help too...hope this was helpful x

I've had it on my shoulders pretty bad. I recently started taking Evening Primrose Oil pills, because they are supposed to help induce labor, but they actually help with acne as well, cleared all mine up. I'd say to try them, since your far enough along too, but just check with your doctor first. Mine said they were perfectly fine to take.
