Bad spots !

[RayeB]

Hi

I am 37 but feel like I'm visiting my teenage years again as my back, chest and now my face are spotty! It's horrible, feel really self conscious. Didn't get this with 1st preg either. Anyone else get this? Can I use spot cream? Just been using sudacrem (pinched from DD's nappy box!).

You can ask your GP to prescribe a topical cream called Duac for you. It helps a little.

I got terrible acne with first pregnancy. It started at 9 weeks and I kept thinking it was a first trimester thing. However, it just got worse and by the time DS was born, I looked like a pizza faced teenager. I finally spoke to GP who prescribed Erythromicin, a very stinky roll on antibiotic. It worked a treat! I was left with horrid scars though. I'm pregnant again and again at 9 weeks the same bumps started appearing, so I went back to GP and got the same stuff again and it has totally cleared it up.

I am using Laboratoire Garnier's Pure skin range for my face which seems to be helping and a tea tree body wash for my back and chest. The Body Shop do a nice tea tree range and its quite cheap. I'm so not diggin the teenage skin lol
