Acne and Pregnancy

[198555]

I have just discovered that I am a month pregnant.
My face has just developed acne, my skin was prone to acne before pregnancy. How do I treat this acne problem while I"m pregnant.

That is a good sign you are having a boy.I have very bad acne that is all over my back my chest and I'm having a boy.I was reading in my pregnancy book that acne is a good sign for a boy.Off topic but i thought I would share

No lie I had it so bad with my first that when I started breaking out bad this time around I looked at my husband said I need a pregnancy test I'm pregnant and I am! I never get pimples unless I'm pregnant lol.

Some women just get really bad acne when pregnant. With my first I had it for the whole first trimester BAD, it looked terrible and I got it on my chest too. Don't pick at it and try to wash your face 2 or 3 times a day. It will hopefully subside after your first trimester.
Don't try anything too harsh on your skin either. There are products you aren't supposed to use. They say benzoyl peroxide is one but I still used the Clean and Clear with 5%, it's the only thing that keeps the oils from producing too much but I only use it once a day or just every other day. Otherwise I use something that is exfoliating.
