hi all i am 4 months preggo and i thought my pimples would hve cleared by now that i am beginning my 2nd trimester.but no!!!!!!!! it seems to have gotten worse. everyday i wake up with a few new ones on my forehead.now it has gone quite disgusting to the extend of having them on my breasts and neck. i have been putting on pimple cream b4 i go to bed but i heard that too much of it is not good for the baby. i have been drinking lots of water to flush out all the oiliness off my face and toxins off my body. does anyone have any idea on how else i can get rid of these disgusting pimples without harming my baby?
p/s before i was pregnant i only get one small pimple b4 menses.that's abt it. :o(

Change your shampoo/conditioner/bodywash. I started breaking out horribly when I was preggo and then my sister-in-law told me the same with her and as soon as she changed her soaps she cleared up. I stopped using conditioner all together and I think that really helped. The only other thing that really helps? Giving birth and getting your regular hormones back! Good luck and congrats!

I had a British online friend recommend Crest toothpaste for pimples. It actually worked for me as well. This is the traditional paste stuff, not the gel. Try that before going to bed and see if it helps any. They even mentioned it in a Discovery Health blurb between shows. BTW, It's hormones that are causing the problem, which I'm sure you are aware.

Talk to your doctor about it. It most likely the hormonal changes of being pregnant causing this your OB doc might have some tips and tricks that might help.

im the same at moment im 5 months next week, when i started exfoliating and cleansing they seemed to get worse, so i jus used to water and avoided touching my face all the time, fingers crossed they seem to have calmed down x if your symptoms get worse and go no your back go see your doctor my friend got them all over her back and these tablets seem to work and not affect baby x

Toothpaste really does work. I used it in jail.
