Hello. I am 5 months pregnant and is feeling okay except for this acne that I am experiencing. I am planning to see my doctor in a week by now regarding this acne. But hearing from your end with the same experience will be highly appreciated.
Skin breakout occurs because while you are pregnant your metabolism rate increases and you perspire more. This makes your sebaceous glands kick into overdrive and cause blemishes.
Agree, it is good for you to seek medical advise then rather than to take any over the counter medications like what others do because your case maybe different with their case. Extra precautions must be take especially that you are pregnant.
for all we know, pregnancy can trigger to have some acne or can even make an adult acne that is existing to get worst. this is because of our higher level hormones called androgens that is responsible for pregnancy breakouts.
Acne during pregnancy is quite normal and it's part of the body changes during pregnancy. Don't worry, it's nothing serious and there's a treatment for it.
