Pregnancy Acne!!!

Ahhh...is anyone else experiencing acne of some sort? I am 10 weeks and have some acne on my neck. I use all natural products and am not to worried about it, but it really makes me feel insecure. I am justgrateful to be pregnant, soI thinkI can survive the acne for a while :-) Just want to know if I am alone or one of many.

Yes, it's all over my back!!!! I've been trying to medicate it the same as I do my face, but nothing is working! I'm 10 weeks as well, and I'm scared it's going to get worse!

I got pregnancy acne during my first trimester, some on my chest and upper back. It all went away with the second trimester... thank god! So hopefully you will be lucky!

I had the same problem when I was preggo, I definately was not one of those women who GLOW in a good way..lol I had break outs and limp hair during my pregnancy. Its just one of those things..The good news is that its just hormones and will go away.. It is also bad at the beginning but usually gets better, Plus I am sure the heat and everything is not helping. Good Luck Ladies!

does anyone have any good solutions? I know that once I started drinking cod liver oilmy skin improved greatly!

Well since you use all natural products I dont really have recommendations for you. I used Proactiv for a long time before getting pregnant but when I found out I was pregnant I stopped using it for a few weeks and started to break out. But my doc said it was safe for me to use during pregnancy so I started to use it again and haven't broke out at all.

I have it really bad on my face! I hate it, I make sure I wash my face morning and night, as well as try and not wear make up on the weekends. It doesn't go away! My friend had acne the whole pregnancy. Im hoping it will get better in my 2nd trimester. Its another unpleasant pregnancy sympton, but its all worth it in the end!

i haven't really gotten any pregnancy acne..my face has actually cleared up...but in my first trimester i had a bit...this may said weird but i use neosporin and it dries it out like over night..if i even think something might come up i put some on.

Puberty ain't got nothing on pregnancy, lol.I have bacne pretty bad.

As for my face, I don't have zits, but I have these red itchy bumps, almost like heat rash, only I avoid the heat at all costs. So I don't know what the deal is with that. I cried the other night to my hubby because I look so fat and old and splotchy and ugly. They seem to be clearing up over the last few days, though.

Oh yes I have it all over my jaw bone & chin   It's starting to clear up thankfully though!  

my acne started on my back, chest and shoulders in the second trimester im in third trimester andd still same. i got acne on my face from day one. HORRRIBLE

Same here, its like hitting puberty all over again. I have oily skin to begin with and now my face just feels like its melting. I can't get my acne to clear up and I have been using proactiv and cliniqe products. I don't want to try anthing else. because some treatments arent safe.

NEVER in my life did I have to deal with acne...my sister's did, but I didn't. Then, when I went to boot camp I started to develop just a few here and there on my chin. Now...HOLY CRAP! My hubby get a hold on my back because I tend to get little tiny acid bumps. I have had a few scattered on my face and damn if they don't hurt. Other than that...it's all good. I noticed it more in the 1st and beginning of the 3rd trimester.

i got horrible acne with my son and this go round is no diffrent i have it again!it'll go away after your hormones get back to normal!
