Avatar f tn Oh welcome to the club. Sorry my face so awful till 10 or 11 weeks that was unreal. I'm 34 and still having adult acne on top of hormonal acne. They can't give you too much stuff like meds for it right now. You gotta hold on and later it should get better. After I delivered my 2nd baby my face was awful again. Yeah ... hormonal craziness. But I use tea tree oil pads off of amazon to clean my face with. Very natural and it does help to reduce inflammation.
Avatar f tn Several factors are usually considered to cause acne such as diet, stress, genetic, dirt hormonal imbalances, cosmetics, work-related and drugs. Treatment options include topical and oral antibiotics, topical retinoids, hormonal therapy, dermabrasion , phototherapy and laser resurfacing. Normally a combination of treatments is followed and if nothing proves effective then dermabrasion and laser therapy are useful. You can discuss these treatment options with your dermatologist.
Avatar f tn You should get it checked out. Dosent seem normal in my opinion.
Avatar f tn So, I had to fill out a questionaire with a million questions before I see an RE at the end of the month. One of the questions was about acne, and whether I have it or not. What does having acne mean? (I've heard getting acne can be a sign of something, I just can't remember what) Lately, I've been having so many breakouts, and today noticed I had some back acne. Gross! I never had acne before.
Avatar f tn You're lucky you just have it on your face that's how my pregnancy acne started out and then spread to my scalp my chest and my back gross and nothing gets rid of it it's purely hormonal I tried to use remedies that would usually cure my menstrual acne and it just makes everything worse
Avatar f tn Just wanted to see if anyone has a good acne remedy safe for pregnancy. Any over the counter cleaners/creams that have worked for you? Please share, thank you!
Avatar f tn I start taking this and it finally help with my terrible acne. I have acne in my back, face and chest. Some its really deep and leave marks everywhere. Go to a dermatologis, and try different treatments. Good luck!!!
Avatar n tn Acne during pregnancy is normal although I don't have any tips on what to do. I don't think there is much since its cause by hormones.
Avatar f tn Treating acne during pregnancy can be a little tricky. It is considered best to avoid chemical treatment at this stage. There are a couple of home remedies that you could follow. 1. Drink lots of water, keep you'd body hydrated and cool 2. Drink fresh tender coconut water if available 3. Apply lemon juice on your acne. It has been tried and tested. All the best on your pregnancy !
Avatar f tn For some reason am getting acne but on my head.. it doesn't go pass my ears but it aint close to my face.. my husband started to get it first but then I did .. oh and our face started to get so oily too.. ftm.. I dont know what to expect. .
Avatar f tn I had hormonal acne even before pregnancy and when I say it was a bad acne ladies trust me it was bad. I wash my face every morning when I wake up I use the Clinique treatement for acne and I do the same thing at night time. As far as make up I also use the Clinique make up foundation from their acne line. It has been working wonders for me.
Avatar n tn I am 25 (F) with a lot of acne problem on my face. i even did my hormonal test which hv shown normal results. i have tried everything else but nothing has help. i m getting married in 4 months. should i still consider hormonal treatment or go on accutane?
Avatar f tn because before I got pregnant I would get a lot of acne all over my T zone area really bad.. Anyone else having the same or have had the same awesome issue?? After my pregnancy will my acne back:/??
Avatar f tn Anyways, I went to my doctor multiple times in a desperate attempt to find a pill or medication that could clear my acne, and was even considering Accutane during that bout of acne last year (doc said no because I was on antidepressants at the time). I've tried everything from clindamycin to minocyclin to tretinoin to bactrim (which gave me a rash and high fever, turns out I'm allergic to it) to birth control pills... to no avail.
Avatar m tn Hello, I am 29 yo considering OC to help hormonal imbalance (not so much pregnancy prevention). I have cystic acne along my jawline. I have been using spironolactone 50mg daily about a year. Overall, it's improved about 50%, but will worsen during pre-mentraul flare ups. However, my derm is hesitant about increasing my dose and suggested adding on OC. Any reccomendation on what estrogen/progestin combo to try for acne?
Avatar f tn Try not to be too hard on yourself though because acne in pregnancy is hormonal and there is only so much you can do for hormonal acne... The good news is it will clear up eventually. Also drink LOTS of water, this helped my acne a lot... It's the best way to flush out toxins in your body that contribute to acne. Ps. Don't use products containing retinol or salicylic acid because they can be unsafe in pregnancy if over used.
Avatar n tn Well, shoot. It's obvious something is out of whack. It's more than the usual post-pregnancy stuff. I grew extra hair during pregnancy then lost it after the birth of my children. But you're 15 months out from delivery. Have they done a transvaginal ultrasound too to check your ovaries? Keep pushing for answers. You have to be your own advocate sometimes and that's hard.
Avatar f tn I'm a teen mommy to be and its writin all over my forehead with acne. Just keep in mind it will go away and you can still use face wash. Also I've heard if you get bad acne during pregnancy you should blame a baby girl for stealing your beauty!(; Good luck!
Avatar n tn Please someone help has anyone had really bad acne while pregnant my face before pregnancy was great only had the odd spot here and there but now I can't seem to get rid of them any advice will be sooo good right now ....
Avatar f tn Check with your doctor or pharmacist before you use an acne medican not all ate safe over pregnancy and if possible to wait till the 3rd trimester the better....mine did not get better at all. But once I had the baby it almost immediately started to clear up.
Avatar f tn Could all of this inflammation + weight gain + inability to lose weight+ insomnia + acne indicate an increase in cortisol and or a hormonal imbalance? I saw my doctor who is an internist and pediatrician and he ACTUALLY laughed in my face. I am seeing on the internet that seems to be the norm.
Avatar m tn Regardless, you should see your doctor about the changes associated with irregular periods, cramping, bloating, and acne. You could have a hormonal imbalance that can be corrected. Good luck!
Avatar m tn The same time that happened, I got acne and got kinda uglier as well. So that makes me think puberty imbalance hormones did this to me. I also got depressed and used to be very happy (Not because of the acne or getting uglier! just how I started feeling). Has anyone ever heard of this happening, as well as the person getting better once they're out of puberty and reached adulthood? If so, how much long do I have to wait for puberty to be finished?
Avatar n tn Significance Red bumps on your cheeks may signal acne, sometimes referred to as pimples or zits, and can result in scarring if left untreated. Acne also forms on the neck, chest, shoulders or back -- the areas of your body with the most oil glands. Acne bumps often heal slowly and new bumps typically appear as the older ones vanish, according to MayoClinic.com.
Avatar m tn Are you watching your diet-getting lots of water, fruit, veggies? Have you tried different facial cleaners/soaps?
Avatar m tn Did u take a blood test to rule out pregnancy
7172456 tn?1403092946 Very normal, your hormones are going insane right now causing the acne. I had very bad acne during my 1st trimester and nothing took it away but during the 2nd trimester it cleared up.
