Did your face break out when you where pregnant ? is it safe to use acne medicine?

Answer 1

Yes my face broke out really bad to the point that I did not like people staring at me. However, the heat also added to it which did not help much. Using strong acne cream is not recommended. My face is now clear and smooth, I currently use Clean&Clear and Neutrogena products. Just buy some daily facial wash and face lotion and you will be fine.

Answer 2

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.

In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.

Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.

In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

Yes!

Absolutely normal though. Changes in hormones.

and NO! DO NOT USE ANY OTC ACNE MEDICINE. Not even the medicines that call themselves "natural". There are reports out there that indicate some of the active medicinal ingredients in acne medications have been shown to cause birth defects. (Please see last link).

The truth is, no matter how much you wash, scrub, cleanse your face, it has nothing to do with clogged pores. Its all hormones.

Some say drinking water helps - but the best solution, a great concealer and makeup. :)

Don't worry, this phase usually passes...and you'll be your glowing self again!

If your acne is really bad...I recommend you see a dermatologist, perhaps they can prescribe something that is safe.

Answer 4

It varies from person to person; everyone is different. I used to have bad acne, but once I got pregnant, my acne totally cleared up.

However, if you have acne, I've read that there are certain acne medications that are not good to use while pregnant. But there are others out there that are ok. I'm not sure which ones are OK and which ones aren't. Consult your doctor to make sure.

Answer 5

Yes... I had the most horrible break-outs while pregnant.. Considering the worst I had seen before pregnancy was 2-3 pimples a mont I was shocked when my entire face broke out....

Over the counter meds can be sures safely just read the caution carefully to make sure it does not restrict use while pregnant... If that doesn't work talk to your dr. he/she can refer you to a dermitologist who can prescribe or suggest a treatment that will be both safe and effective...

Once your pregnancy is complete your skin should calm down... It's just reacting to the heightened hormones of pregnancy...
