Avatar f tn Has anyone had any bad breakouts while being pregnant?? Normally I get bad breakouts around my period, but haven't. Only odd thing is ive noticed breakouts on my chest area & usually I breakout on my face.
231441 tn?1333892766 Oh my gosh, THANK YOU!! I was just going to post this question...I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one!! Now that my morning sickness is gone, my breakouts are definitely my worst "symptom", and they are driving me insane. Where is that "radiant pregnancy glow" skin I keep reading about?
Avatar m tn Hello, I'm a seventeen year old guy, and up until a couple months ago, I've been a pescetarian (I eat fish, eggs, and dairy products, but no chicken, beef, etc) for four years. I have never had any problems with acne at all. I'd get a pimple here or there, but nothing very serious. People even used to talk about how clear my skin was.
Avatar n tn Hi... Im getting really frustrated with my face breakouts lately. Ive never had a problem with pimples before but now my chin keeps breaking out. The pimples i keep getting are cystic acne. They hurt really bad and nothing helps them go away. This is currently what i use on my face: Face wash with .5% salicylic acid and another facewash with 3.5% benzoyl peroxide. I MAKE SURE to take really good care of my skin but it dosent seem to work.
Avatar n tn I have seen a dermatologist and the main problem is that i don't have a serious problem with acne, but random breakouts. Also, I have breakouts on my back and he told me birth control would be a good choice for that. I have actually tried some different prescritions of washes and creams and they either irrited my skin horribly or didn't work. Thanks for sharing. Let me know how the Loestrin works!
689528 tn?1364135841 Just wondering how many of you had an acne breakout before your BFP? I'm 10dpo. I usually break out around my time of ovulation (which I did) and I have a mild breakout a couple days before AF. AF is 5 days away and I started with a pretty moderate breakout last night/today. S.u.c.k.s!!!!
8324906 tn?1398158808 It's not acne though more like allergic reactions to bites... But they all look different and no one else is getting bit. Could yours maybe be heat bumps?
Avatar f tn I've been noticing a lot more acne all over my neck, but mainly the front (super visble) and right around my hairline on the back. Also been getting a lot of weird, random "scabs" all over my scalp. Never had these problems before pregnancy. I know acne is normal, but i haven't gotten any on my face. Is any of this normal? More concerned about the "scabs", because i dont scratch my head much, but when i do, i find these. Any advice is welcome. Thanks!
Avatar f tn So for a month and a half i had antibiotics again but they were completely not responsive. My acne got worse than ever before. I did not have systic acne but it was pretty bad . I had big red stubborn pimples all over my cheeks . At 17 and a half i was put on accutane again and the course lasted for six months . By that time i just turned 18 . My skin cleared up but i still have acne marks on my cheeks . I am off accutane since 3-4 months .
5755970 tn?1373668806 Hey guys. I hope I'm posting this thread right, I just signed up to ask this question so I don't really know the ropes around here. I've always had some smaller pimples on my face and shoulders but nothing major enough to even bother me. I have a really hard time not picking and squeezing which is the main root to why I even have the acne in the first place I suspect, but I just can't stop doing it.
Avatar f tn I did have a period where I broke out, after I cut down my use the breakouts went away. Vicodin can cause things far worse then acne though, like liver damage, kidney damage, and death if abused.
Avatar f tn Yes!! And it *****!! Ive never been one to have breakouts either!
Avatar f tn ( regular soap and water like I normally use doesn't seem to be working what do you guys suggest??
Avatar f tn Hi. Apologies for the extensive response in advance but I feel everything that follows is pertinent. Sounds identical to what I'm suffering with; literally developed relentless cysts on my jawline and chin a few months ago after only having to endure a minor hormonal breakouts beforehand.
Avatar f tn I ordered some stuff made just for pregger mommies that is safe and effective, i ordered it from prettymommies.com. It helped start clearing my acne up and I never had acne before so it was a releif! It didn't make it go away completely but it helped alot!
Avatar f tn s) heavily, I used to breakout. But not like real acne, but close enough to look like pimples. I only remembered this question as I seen a meth addict yesterday on t.v. and you know how they get those crystal sores all over and pick at them? Kind of the same idea, only not sores more like acne. Now mind you, this was only if I was using heavily, 6 to 10 a day. Heavy use for me... Thanks for your feedback!
Avatar f tn s dangerous to take something *orally* for acne (unless approved by a doctor), but using something topically (on your skin) is typically safe. if you feel uncomfortable, talk to your OB about it though. I've used clearasil my entire pregnancy.. 23w4d & our baby boy is kicking my ribs as I type this!! lol good luck!
Avatar f tn So I'm 21weeks today, but ever since I was about 16weeks I've had major acne breakouts!! When do they end?? I've never been one to have acne breakouts and now its just irritating Me so so much! Ugh!! When is it supposed to end?
10385178 tn?1409779669 m with u..... before getting pregnant u went through chemical peels to get rid of acne scars from when I was a teenager. Now I am a pizza face all over again lol. It's so painful too. I got some medicated acne cream from my dermatologist however it has helped tons in the past. . .
6946979 tn?1392759506 Anyone else have/had problems with dry skin/acne? Before my pregnancy i never had acne breakouts and my face has become dry and flaky. Any suggestions on helping it?
Avatar m tn I always had very clear skin even during teenage years, but all of a sudden in past year I just started breaking out on my forehead, chin, cheeks...really bad breakouts starting red, some have white heads that pop eventually...first I thought that waxing causes it and stopped, but nothing helps...no systems, nothing....I haven't had any amounts of stress, no real change in diet, I do take birthcontrol pills every couple of months, but break outs started before i started on them...
Avatar m tn I have no other symptoms of PCOS except some acne on my chin (but occasional breakouts are not uncommon for me, I have oily skin, plus an expired skin product and eating wheat with my allergy may have caused this). I am a pear shape with thick legs, I don't gain weight in my abdomen, no hair loss or facial hair symptoms. My acne isn't really cystic, just small tiny whiteheads. Did any of you ONLY have missed periods as a symptom? Should I be concerned?
Avatar f tn I feel like if my hormone levels are all off and I get them regulated it will solve other problems like acne breakouts and such. In case this makes any difference, I also had the chicken pox 1 1/2 months ago and had my wisdom teeth removed 2 weeks ago. Been period-less for 4 months and never been regular. Sore breasts and nipples for maybe a month or so. 18 years old and weigh 105.
Avatar f tn I'm 13wks and over the last 4week's my face has broke out wit acne..I never normally have bad skin like this.:-P it normal???
Avatar f tn I have had severe cramps all month long, breast tenderness, cravings, acne breakouts, increase in eating, backaches, headaches, trouble sleeping, low sex drive, low energy, sharp pains, dizziness and other problems. It's a lot of normal pms symptoms but the cramps and pains have been for almost this whole month and are more severe than ever before or and I've had a lot of gas this past week. My period isn't late cuz it's not due till next week.
Avatar f tn m 6 months pregnant and was breaking out bad until I started massaging coconut oil on my face and just gently wiping it off with a hot wash cloth. My acne and even my old scars have been disappearing. It works wonders.
