Oh man so that means ill have this acne the whole pregnancy, ill try the mint scrub thanks,  I didn't know what to use since they say not to use salicylic acid which is good for acne.

Yes! Uhg mine went down for a while but now its all crazy out of control on my chin. I also found that it flares up when I use medicated face wash. I can only use mint scrub (from Sally's) that's all natural.

Mine is horrible, but I have figured out it gets worse if I use any face wash. So I just splash water and lightly scrub with a towel. I am 32 weeks and it flares up every once in a while, and should go away once all the hormones go back to normal after delivery.
