And u can't use any acne products cuz it will enter ur bloodstream and harm baby. So mild cleansers are best.

That's why it keeps coming back cuz hydrocortisone is only for the itch. U need to find out what ur allergic to or what's irritating ur skin. My dermatologist says cetaphil products are very mild . switch to that brand and see if it helps.

Yea I do my skin is covered in ache type spots and I'm finding it really difficult because my skin has always been flawless and glowing and since bring pregnant my skin has totally changed, I hope it goes back to normal once I have my baby boy.

Hydrocortisone cream is a steroid hunny. U don't wanna put that on ur face. It can break down the layers in your skin and cause even more damage then good. Thats meant for itching tho so if u itch use very sparingly and try to wash your face with cetaphil gentle face cleanser. Its just gonna temporarily take away the itchiness. U might be allergic to something like a food sounds like since ur lips are swollen. Make an apt with ur Dr and let him know

I did.  It was one of the symptoms that made me take a pregnancy test.  I had HORRIBLE acne on my forehead for about the first three months.  If I wiped my face, it's like I could use the oil to fry something. It eventually went away though and my skin is super smooth now.
