Avatar f tn Hi ladies, I am 15 weeks and have been plagued with a blemish-covered face. I feel like I've read a million sites and have tried pretty much everything at this point. Has anyone had any success treating their acne? I want to have "the glow" but instead I just want to cover my face up! Any suggestions would be sooo appreciated!
Avatar f tn i have my beta friday 6/6 so by reading these that makes me hopefuly, im like the rest of you, pimple here and there, nothing real horrible, last week, my chest broke out so bad that it looked like i had a rash, little pimples everywhere, even up my neck and around on my neck and upper back (and on my butt my sweet dh pointed out to me) hope we get our BFP this week!!!!!! Good Luck Joy!
Avatar f tn I have acne again this time but it was terrible with my daughter (all over my neck, face, and back) and it went away completely a few weeks after giving birth (I've never been acne free it was great!) And then I got some more acne when pregnant this time with my son. Nowhere near as bad though, just a couple around my chin and ears. I also have dark spots on my jaw line.
2075937 tn?1334884194 They look like pimples all on the sides of his face and on his head I haven't put anything on them because I have no idea what they could be && No the only thing I put on his face is baby lotion and I've been putting that on his since he was born.
Avatar n tn At the beginning of this pregnancy (3rd as well) i has bad acne all over my lower jaw and neck. It started going away right after the first trimester. I am 19 weeks now and back to normal. I never had acne like that with my first 2. Im 25 too!
Avatar f tn Don't bother your acne, my face was full of acne in beginning of my pregnancy and now I am 27 weekw and my face has been cleared up and I have this natural glow. Just make sure drink plenty of water and eating right.
Avatar n tn I am 42 and I have never had any acne or facial issues. Over the last month I keep getting blisters on my chin, my cheeks, under my hair in the back of my neck. What is this from?
428506 tn?1296557399 Hi All, semi-gross details below... I have a really horrible breakout of small hard pimples on my face, esp. on my nose and around my forehead. I find this odd because I don't typically breakout like this, plus I'm on minocycline, which is sometimes also used to prevent acne. I've had the breakout for at least a week now, which is also unusual for me. If I do get blemishes, they usually start to heal by now. Can I blame this on the Lyme and/or the treatment?
Avatar n tn Does anyone have any tips for pregnancy acne. I've talked to my "Dr" who is really a resident training to be a Dr and a different one at every appt at that. They have no idea what they're doing but that's what my insurance covers. I have break outs on my face, neck,entire back, stomach,legs,butt just about everywhere. I've tried different soaps and everything. It's not an allergic reaction just pregnancy acne. Can anyone please offer any tips.
Avatar f tn I had acne really bad during my pregnancy too... but when i use acne cream or wash on my face it dries out really bad and my skin gets flaky... but i found this stuff made by Clean & Clear.. Advantage acne control moisturizer. And i have no acne and no dry skin..
Avatar f tn At least did not get it so bad on the other pregnancy. I am 5 wks and extremely neevous it will be as bad as I had it on my first pregnancy... My face already feels oily!
Avatar f tn I struggle with acne as well. But I have 100% STOPPED using face wash, I'm only using hot water with a wash cloth. Surprisingly my skin has never been better! All those chemicals will only irritated your skin NO MATTER what, even if they work at first eventually they will end up bringing acne back. So my suggestion is HOT WATER ONLY.
10028419 tn?1416841704 Just keep your face clean I use this stuff called stridex it'd helping my back and chest and it'd making my face a little better...
Avatar f tn I know it sounds weird,but Apple cider vinegar is a great facial rinse. You can research it. I use that and it helps a lot.
Avatar f tn Yes my back its full with acne and my neck too. With my first it was my face and back and with this one my back and neck. Theirs nothing I can do to make them go away trust me I Tried everything.But let me tell you this as soon as you deliveres the acne dies right away that happend to me.
Avatar f tn Are you having a boy? Iam and I'm getting acne like a teenager! I used murad products and worked it cleared my skin but now it came back on my neck area and jowls, chin it's the hormones plus I'm producing more testosterone! I have melasma on my armpits, neck it's horrible! Also freckles on my face For awhile I didn't want to leave my house I felt very frumpy lol.
Avatar n tn Your risk is highest for acne if you are a teenager, although women often face a high likelihood of the bumps due to hormonal changes linked with menstrual cycles, birth control pills and pregnancy. Red bumps on the cheeks or other parts of your body that fade and then reappear in different sizes often signal hives, or urticaria, says KidsHealth.org. Hives usually resolve without treatment and don't leave markings on your cheeks.
Avatar m tn what can i do to get rid of it? i read that tretinoin can work and i have some that i use for face acne. is it too harsh for such a sensitive area? i also have some 20% benzoyl peroxide cream but i dont want to discolor my underwear using it. i read that usually these things resolve on their own in a few months but mine are only just cropping up or getting bigger... i dont have the money to see a dermatologist and i just want them gone!
1356959 tn?1488975948 Some women just get really bad acne when pregnant. With my first I had it for the whole first trimester BAD, it looked terrible and I got it on my chest too. Don't pick at it and try to wash your face 2 or 3 times a day. It will hopefully subside after your first trimester. Don't try anything too harsh on your skin either. There are products you aren't supposed to use.
8234801 tn?1397381200 I'd also like to know. I've always had acne usually just like 4-5 pimples at a time with my pregnancy my acne cleared up it was awesome. With this one. Its attacked my face its all over my chin neck and cheeks. I hate looking in the mirror sometimes. I'm hoping it goes away.
Avatar f tn Hi I'm 13 weeks pregnant and I all of a sudden got little tiny bumps all over my face and neck. They don't hurt itch or burn. And you can't see them only feel them. Has anyone had this before.
Avatar n tn Is anyone else dealing with ridiculous acne? I'm 12 weeks now and it's only getting worse. I don't think I had this bad acne in my teen years.
Avatar f tn Hello good evening, I have a question I recently developed a rash that is red and spreading on my left side of my face. The rash started with 2 bumps on the left side of my face and started spreading down. It looks as if I have cystic acne but I’m sure it’s not acne, I never had acne in my teen years. And this sort of developed after going to Sephora and letting a makeup artist try on a foundation on my face. I had never had this type of issue though? Could it had been the make up I tryed on ?
Avatar f tn I’ve had a slightly bumpy red dots on my face for over a year, and have visited a dermatologist two or three times for it. Every time they just give me a stronger prescription of retinA, or offer my antibiotics. I don’t think it’s acne, as it’s not raised as much as acne, and if it wasn’t so visible I would not know it was there.
