Pregnancy Acne!

[saitken]

Heey this is my first post and my first wee baba coming but has anyone suffered really bad acne?

I'm only 7 weeks and for the last 2 weeks I have suffered bad acne where my face is actually sore to move.. anyone else experience this? I've been to the dermatology but they said there isn't much they can do

I suffered with this in my first pregnancy sadly it lasted the whole 9 months not a lot helped it I'm afraid

My skin was awful until about 15/16 weeks then cleared up. Hope yours does too

Thanks for replying. Was any of it sore because my face and the spots are soooo sore

@saitken some of them were but mainly it was just lots of clusters of pimples everywhere on my face

Was it sore or just really bad? I can hardly move my face they're so sore

I had this! It thankfully disappeared after the first trimester but my face actually felt really sore. I washed my face with a gentle cleanser morning and night. As it went on my face felt dry next to the acne so I used a water based moisturiser. I tried not to touch my face often and didn’t wear any make up as to not make it feel worse or to clog my pores.

Yes, on my forehead and all over my neck. The spots are tiny and barely visible but very sore - I didn’t know what to put on it because it’s like my skin is super dry and sore but then oily at the same time. Never had anything like it - not during my first pregnancy either. I resorted to slathering my neck in sudocreme, it improved it a bit.
