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.
Avatar f tn Keep hair out of face relax use acne cream I do my face broke out so bad now that I'm prego and drink water
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 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!
Avatar f tn Hey guys ! I'm an 18 year old male . I started having pimples when i just turned 16 . Mostly on my forehead and occasionally on my cheeks . Used to control them with face washes and topicals. After 6 months my forehead cleared up but during that time period i had minor breakouts now and then on my cheeks but they mostly cleared up . After that i started getting a lot of pimples on my cheeks so the dermatologist put me on antibiotics for 3-4 months.
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 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?
Avatar m tn Hi there, Sorry to hear about your breakouts. I know how heartbreaking it can be! I recently went through a bout of unusual breakouts as well, and it took a lot of thought and experimentation to understand what the cause was. I too had always had balanced skin, so I was mystified. You say that you haven't changed your diet, but be sure you're including supplements and vitamins as well. My initial breakout was caused by CLA, an oily vitamin used for weight loss.
Avatar f tn Yes!! And it *****!! Ive never been one to have breakouts either!
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!
463575 tn?1211302688 Despite being a well-known strategy to deal with acne, you should not be washing your skin or try to be dealing with your breakouts with isopropyl. It is an extremely severe cleaner for the already impacted epidermis. It gets dry the epidermis out, which causes it to overproduce organic oils to keep it hydrated. This then causes the breakouts or it worsens the already current breakouts. If you have a little acne, spot therapy can sometimes be the best choice.
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 f tn ll rinse my face with water every time I go to the bathroom or if I feel especially sweaty or oily. I do that in addition to exfoliating my face a couple times a week. As for the butt acne I would get that too from sweating a lot and staying in the same clothes I sweat in (from p.e. I had it at the end of the day). So maybe try changing your bottoms more frequently if you feel sweaty. I hope this helps :) also drink lots of water and stay away from junk food as much as possible.
10385178 tn?1409779669 I'm having the worst acne I have ever experienced since I've been about 2 months is when it started now I'm 4 months and it never ends.......help what to do?
Avatar n tn I believe the correlation comes from the release of androgen hormones in your body when you rapidly lose fat. While there are no studies confirming or denying that there is an increase in acne breakouts while taking phentermine, enough people have experienced it, to provide a definite correlation.
Avatar f tn For the past year almost year and half now, I have developed a rather large group of small bumps all over my right cheek and chin as well as over my forehead and some on my left cheek (but not as much). I will confess to pinching some of them only to have a white solid secretion, doing this eventually makes that one fade I think. I normally use a mild papaya soap cleanser and a natural apricot scrub. On occasion I use either a neem or argan oil mud mask.

Avatar f tn The latter may sound like useless advice but you’d be surprised as to how a positive attitude can at least improve how you perceive your daily acne struggles, as well as actually helping to alleviate it in time. Acne is a sign your body is fighting something internal; be that a hormone imbalance, gut imbalance or nutritional imbalance. I know a quick fix is what you dream of; to wake up with at least no new blemishes would be a blessing.
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!!!!
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.
