Miserable, isn't it? Any consolation if I say mine finally went at about 5 months? It's just hormones going beserk, but certainly undermines any feelings of 'blooming'.

Try not to get too stressed - and go out and buy yourself a good concealer. I've found Lancome to be the best.

Also, I know you're feeling self-conscious, but I've found getting DH to massage some nice oils (with some lavender thrown in as it's antiseptic) can help with the back area. I also dab tea-tree oil on individual spots which helps to dry them out.

It's awful isn't it. I seem to have some real humdingers on my face. I had them during the majority of my first trimester (am now 16 weeks). They went away for two weeks and I thought that was it. Lo and behold, I have three enormous spots that just won't go away on really central parts of my face. I try to cover them but they end up looking like moon craters :-(
