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 is it ok to use proactiv+ cleansing body bar with salicylic acid acne treatment?
Avatar n tn Hi, i am currently using an acne treatment called Aknicare - so far it's working well. i've suffered from acne for years and never seem to find anything that works. Can anyone recommend a treatment or has anyone used Aknicare?
281603 tn?1229311681 i use Mk timewise also :) ............ i've used it for a long time but twice during pregnancies i wasn't able to use it... but last pregnancy and this time its been fine! but i also use the acne treatment gel which has 5% bezoyl peroxide in it and someone said that you shouldn't use anything with that in it. i was just wondering if that was true.
Avatar n tn i have acne on my back.. it is very inconvenient.. please can someone give me a solution for it..
Avatar f tn t sure if using those kinds of creams like clean and clear or proactive was safe while pregnant? Lol I freak out about everything I'm a ftm :) but if there's no harm I'm definitely gonna try proactive!! Its horrible!
Avatar f tn Hi I'm n my 5th week now and for years I have been using proactive facewash, content s benzoyl peroxide and another acne ointment. Does it affect my pregnancy anyway.
Avatar f tn I had other side effects from birth control so I decided to get off of it and the acne returned. I tried everything OTC for acne. I even tried proactive and it did nothing for me. So then I realized it was related to my hormones. I found a natural treatment. It's an herb called vitex fruit. It can take a couple of your cycles to take affect. It works by balancing your hormones naturally with your pituitary gland. It had natural estrogen properties.
Avatar n tn You may want to try some cream that is prescribed. I forgot the name but it like burns the acne. It's pretty strong stuff. Also try nuetragena for starters and try to wash your face frequently. Take 2-3 showers a day and try not to touch your face. I did that and I'm acne free now.
Avatar f tn My 17 year old son was diag. with ALL Leukemia on his 16th Birthday (18 months ago). He is a St. Jude's patient, in remission and doing well. His protocol will continue through Sept. '09. He currently has bad acne (adolescent acne, not associated with his dia. or a treatment side effect) . We have seen a dermotologist (under guidance of his Oncologist) and been prescribed Accutane. My question is concerning his taking the Accutane along with his chemo meds.
458384 tn?1295720656 We'd be happy to create an acne tracker. What types of things would you like to be able to track? Acne outbreaks? Let us know and we'll get on it. Thanks for the suggestion!
341551 tn?1266980730 I've pretty much told everyone on here that my acne is bad and only getting worse!! It seems to be only on my forehead with minimal breakouts on my chin and cheeks. But its horrible!! I've never had bad skin so I don't really know what to do. I wash my face twice a day, use moisturizer and that doesn't seem to help. A couple people suggested Proactiv...saying that within a couple treatments it took care of their acne for the longest time..but they don't know I'm Pregnant.
Avatar f tn Did any of you girls get acne during your pregnancy? My face is starting to break out.
554628 tn?1362777919 Well everytime i get pregnant i sweat my face turns into a road map of acne bumps i VERY RARELY get a break out usually but both of my pregnancies i've had the morst horrible acne ever most of it is on my chin and sides of my face, is this normal and does ne one know if it's safe to use proactive while pregnant i'm desperate to get rid of this acne it's driving me nuts i'm gonna have scars on my face if they don't go AWAY lol
Avatar f tn Try something with benzoyl peroxide in it . Like generic proactive. It's baby safe and effective . But only if you use it religiously like it says to. If I don't do it twice a day like the directions say, it doesn't work.
5958897 tn?1426798528 I'm also experiencing acne. I use erythromycin topical gel prescribed by my dermatologist as well as Mario Badescu acne wash. Sort of helps.
Avatar f tn So ive struggled with acne literally all my life and ik its hormones from my pregnancy but my acbe is just terrible. I looked in the mirror and I just wanted to cry I dont feel attractive and Ik i dont look attractive even my boyfriend tells me it looks bad. Ive tried everything I use to use proactive but I heard it isnt safe for pregnancy any suggestions ladies ?
Avatar n tn The cysts on my face are gone which left bad scars but now I have severe bumps, like a red rash all over my face. I have never had acne and I know this must be hormonal. They told me a few weeks ago the cancer is still there and my hormone levels are 20 times higher than normal. The dermatologist wants to put me on Accutane but if this is just hormonal then I am just wondering how I can fix this problem with out that.
Avatar n tn Mine does on and of to.at the beginning of this preg I had acne like a teen all over again.and my skin has been super sensitive, I've been using dove body wash or aveeno sensitive face wash and coconut oil for moisturizer. That's all I found to work without making it super dry and itchy.
Avatar n tn I don't use proactive like it says too. I only use it every other day and only once a day. It's how I keep from spending so much for it. So my skin isn't as used to it as some others might be. And I did go off it for a while and my skin didn't get too bad. So maybe every one is different.
