9840853 tn?1407207261 I want to know the reason why did I got acne during my pregnancy, does it affects on my pregnancy?
364288 tn?1300144506 So with my 2nd pregnancy which turned out in m/c I had a ton of acne/pimples! It was really bad!!! My DH and I have been BDing this last week and hoping to get preggers this month. I noticed after ovulating that I'm getting really bad acne/pimples again!! Ugh!! I don't want to get my hopes up and I know it's way too early to know anything (to test) but does anyone know if this is just due to hormones or do you think there's a chance that I could be preggers again?
Avatar f tn Using acne products is sort of like dying your hair during pregnancy Theyre not sure of how much of the chemicals is absorbed and if they harm the baby etc. Different drs have different takes on if theyre okay to use or not. The best advice i can give you is to tell your dr your using it, and use it after your out of the first trimester because thats when the anatomy is forming. I use stridex pads occasionally because i get acne a lot ): it *****.
Avatar f tn Has anyone else had like really severe acne during their pregnancy? And if so, what did you do to help it? It seems like I've tried everything. Both of my entire shoulders are breaking out. It's really bad and seems like nothing I do is working.
Avatar n tn but if you are a female then you are requested to stop the antiacne medications especially if you are taking Accutane during pregnancy. Also there is no hard and fast rule and acne may recur after stopping the antiacne medications also. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
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 Is there anything can I do to remove it or reduce it other than medications or acne cream because my doctor did not advise me to apply any acne cream during this trimister..but it bothers me alot..
486679 tn?1234575929 this may be a dumb question so please dont anyone get angry at me for asking but can u get laser tx done during pregnancy?i am supposed to go for a laser tx on wed for acne and have recently found out i am about 7 weeks along.my doc told me it was safe while trying to conceive so i am assuming it would still be safe- he says it is just a light pulse but how do u guys feel about this???
Avatar n tn Dark spots and acne are super common during pregnancy! Just use a gentle facewash and moisturizer and it'll clear up in no time!
Avatar f tn I definitely had pregnancy acne during the first trimester & it drove me crazy.
281603 tn?1229311681 anything as long as it's gentle. My doctor said no salicylic acid or retnoids or benzoyl peroxide. Which really sucks for me b/c I have bad skin and break out a lot. So I use Vivier products gentle cleanser and toner. I got them from my dermatologist and he said they were safe to use during pregnancy. PCA cleansers are safe also as long as they don't have any of the above ingredients in them.
Avatar f tn How many women hair is growing during pregnancy? How many are breaking off?
492921 tn?1321289896 Benzoyl peroxide has been proven in clinical studies to be safe to use during pregnancy. There are a few anti-acne medications, such as Tetracycline, Salicylic Acid, Tretinon, and Isotrentinoin that either are known to be harmful during pregnancy or have not been fully tested as to their effects on pregnant women. Of course, you should always check with your health care provider before using any medications while pregnant, whether they are over-the-counter or prescription.
Avatar f tn Hi Mary Lee I have the same problem too. During my first trimester I broke out so bad and it left a lot of scars in my face. My acne during the first trimester was huge and painful.. it did looks like a cystic acne. I was using clearasil, benzoyl peroxide cream 5% or 10% (i used 10%) and erythromycin pads all approved by my MD. I used them twice a day. Benzoyl peroxide makes your skin really dry. Use moisture but not too heavy because that can cause your pores to clog.
18524847 tn?1465595901 Is or did your face break out due to hormones during pregnancy? Did you do anything different to combat it?
Avatar f tn That medicine can cause severe or life-threatening birth defects if the mother takes the medication during pregnancy. I would also get on some form of birth control because even just one dose can cause the defects. There's a number you can call if you become pregnant while taking it. Look up the iPLEDGE pregnancy registry.
