acne

So before i found out i was pregnant i was using a strong salicylic acid and it was the only thing to ever keep my skin under control. Now, obviously i cant use those products anymore but im breaking out really bad and not sure what is safe to use. I thought tea tree oil because its natural but i found out its just a natural form of salicylic acid so im not using that either. I dont know what to do, this is one of my biggest insecurities /:

I had to get off my meds as well for my acne and now I have it really bad all over my back and shoulders.  But I still use my topical gels that my dermatologist gave me before I got pregnant.  Nothing you can really do but try to wash your face once or twice a day and keep up with it throughout ur whole pregnancy.

My dr said anything topical is safe to use. Cetaphil is what she recommended and I swear by it. Miracle in a bottle lol good luck, also try a lemon sugar scrub. Just lemon juice  and sugar, the juice will help dry up your acne while the sugar gets off the dead skin and opens up those pores! Good luck
