back acne!

Ok so first I'm really thankful that I never get acne on my face during pregnancy. But I always seem to get it on my back. I'm 16 weeks tomorrow and I'm already starting to get them again. I have about 5 small bumps. Anybody know what I can use to keep them under control? Because last time I picked them all the time and they started to hurt. And get really ugly.

Well its totally up to you but even if it goes away after pregnancy wouldn't you wanna get it cleared right now as well? I'm just saying

But I'm wondering that because it's only there when I'm pregnant, would anything make it go away? Or would I be wasting my time and money trying when it will just go away after I have my Baby.

You can try the proactive body wash. It really does work I've never had back acne but when i was younger i had face acne. My mom bought me the proactive and it cleared up. My little sis had back acne we got her the body wash and it reduced back acne. I've seen it work maybe it'll work for you as well.

I had a little in the first few months of both of my pregnancies. My Dr said it was the hormones. I wasted tons of money on creams. =/

Tuh I wish I knew. Don't pop them! That's for sure. They will hurt like hell and get irritated. Trust me. Ive already had to stop myself from scratching them off this time.
