Pregnant - shit skin

I'm 20 weeks pregnant and my skin has never looked worse. I'm covered in red spots under my skin - nothing pus filled or the like but covered in spots. I have very dry skin so never got spots as a teenager and I've never experienced anything like this.

I thought it would clear up after the first trimester but no. I use a vitamin C cleanser and serum, and a moisturiser with a spf 30 (skin cancer risk in the family). I rarely wear foundation or make up on ny skin and la Roche spot treatment that usually clears up the odd rogue spot isn't working. I drink as much water as the severe sickness will allow me, but admittedly less than usual.

What can I do?

I've no advice for you OP, but i was the same. My skin exploded. It was so bad i ended up out of work. The good news is it cleared up like the flick of a switch when i had the baby. So hang in there!
