Yes I am dealing with it too. My face and my chest look awful and I cannot stand it. I usually have pretty fair skin but for some reason when I get pregnant (my third pregnancy) I break out bad.

Me! I hate it and the face wash I was using, can't be used while pregnant due to some of the ingredients. So now I've been searching for what I can use and I'm just not sure.
