I have suffered with acne since my last baby 4 years ago. I have been off my meds while pregnant and I'm miserable.

My acne is so bad that my face is sore to the touch.

Anyone had anything done about acne during pregnancy?

didnt want to read and run, but have no exprience other than crops of spots but def not full blown acne. I have used zineryt but not while pregnant. Maybe doctor can help?

Yeah, I'm going to go and see the doctor next week as its really getting me down, as well as a long list of things I'm feeling down about at the minute this certainly isn't helping. Thanks

Has it gotten worse since your pregnancy? Did you come off the pill to have your first baby?

I have tried this
www.belliskincare.com/

I only just got it (it took ages to arrive - they're a US company and don't really deliver to the UK but they do sell it via Amazon UK) so I can't say for sure if it is any good yet, but my skin certainly isn't irritated by it.

Won't be as effective as prescription stuff but if you're off your prescriptions because of pg then, like me, you might think it's worth a punt.

I suffered/am suffering from big breakouts in both pregnancies, probably not classified as acne tho. The dr prescribed zineryt both times after checking it was safe, and it really helped. So sorry to hear it's getting you down so much. Really hope you can find a solution that works for you.

I suffer from acne rosacea which really flared up when I fell pregnant. Doctor prescribed me eythromycin and it has completely cleared after a 2 week course. Apparently it's very safe to take in pregnancy so might be worth asking about.
