how to stop acne breakouts naturally

In my first trimester i broke out so much in my chest and back i just didnt know how to cover it but Ever since i reached my 2nd trimester it stop and cleared out. Now i only get 2 or 3 when i eat greasy food which i rarely do.

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?

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.

I'm 12wks 5 days and haven't had acne since high school. Now I'm constantly breaking out on my chin and cheeks, it almost looks like a rash. I also break out on my back and chest. I know that hormones during pregnancy can have a lot to do with break outs. I haven't brought it up to my doctor, because it doesn't look that severe (yet), but I would probably see a dermatologist and find out safe options for controlling acne. I believe ftm stands for first time mom. Good luck!!

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!

I have been breaking out bad lately i guess its because of the pregnancy, if it happened to some of you ladies what did yall use to get rid of it, i been dealing with it but ughhh its so frustrating i feel so ugly :(

I did. It is dry and has discoloration. If I wash my face it turns white.

The doctor told me to continue using Benzoyl Peroxide and the rest of his recommendations everyday if I want to keep my face from acne breakouts. And then the real deal walks in the drama, my face started to look so aged, dull, and oily. I'm only 21 but my appearance looks like I'm already in my 30's. My face is literally shiny and glistening with acne scars that made it hideously terrible. It makes feel like I have mutated to a horrifying monster.

Me to I didn't with my first kid tho new four

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

I normally have oily skin but never really had a problem with acne. My normal skin routine is not preventing the breakouts. Any suggestions??

Hi. The main factors which lead to acne are oil, bacteria and hormones. As Vanessa says, your doctor or dermatologist will assess your acne and decide whether a topical or oral treatment is best for you. Dermatologists have found the most effective topical prescription gel to be Differin especially when used in conjunction with oral antibiotics or an anti-androgen contraceptive pill like Diane35 (females only).

well I did try yaz before, and i had to stop taking it, because I was soooo depressed - I guess I need to find something similar to it.

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.

Yep me to, I never had acne before either. I just keep my face washed with hot water all the time. And for the dry skin, lotion helps me!

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.

It is normal to get acne on your neck, chest, or even back. I had some on the back of my neck, chest, and upper back. As for the scabs I'm not sure but try usig head and shoulders or something similar to that to see if it goes away but try not to scratch then.

Oh girl im breaking out too im skin use to be nice and clean they seem to go away but ugh they come back

Acne is usually associated with hormonal changes and meat is unlikely to be a possible cause. To keep your skin acne free it is advised to keep it clean and oil free at all times. Wash the face atleast 2-3 times a day with a mild soap and keep it adequately moisturized. For mild acne one could use ointments containing benzoyl peroxide/ clindamycin; while for severer ones it is best advised to consult a dermatologist. Hope this is helpful. Take care!

Yes!! And it *****!! Ive never been one to have breakouts either!

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.

I started taking thyroid hormone levothyroxine 50mcg (smallest dose) on March 15, almost a two months now. I noticed about 4 weeks after I started taking it that my acne was beginning to flare up. I had it under control for many months by that point, and I'm trying to figure out if the levothyroxine is the cause. My endocrinologist told me that my thyroid function was normal without the medication but I am taking it because I have nodules (the medication slows down their growth.

I am 21 years old and I recently started using Yaz, the oral contraceptive, for my birth control. I have been using it for a month and 3 weeks, and during this time I have had the worst acne I have ever seen. I have several huge zits that appear around my chin/mouth. A new one forms almost everyday and it is out of control. They are deep and painful, not to mention that I look like a monster. I don't know how much longer I can deal with this.

I feel like a 15 year old. My face is so broke out and now that I'm older, it takes longer to heal. I don't know what to use to stop all these pimples. I haven't been wearing makeup and I moisturize, but I don't know what else to use. Any suggestions?

Try neutragena, thats one of the only cheaper skincare lines that actually work. Also try not to touch ur breakouts or pop them, it just spreads it and makes it worse. And I would wash ur pillow often and if u use a make up brush for foundation wash that too..
