Severe acne 18 weeks pregnant

[Wishingtobemum94]

I'm 18 weeks pregnant and delighted about it but my skin is getting me down not only on my face all over my chest and covering my whole back and neck it is making me feel rubbish, using cerave skin care showering twice daily and using things I've seen recommended during pregnancy on my face, not wearing any make up as I feel that makes it worse but my confidence is all time low, I've even changed my prenatals a few weeks ago to see if this would help but it's only getting worse, i just want to hide when I should be enjoying my pregnancy that I have so longed for HELP

I had the same when I was pregnant - my face and my back were awful. I went to the GP who prescribed a topical antibiotic to apply twice a day. It definitely helped a lot. And is perfectly safe in pregnancy xx

@chirpingbird123 rang my gp yest they told me I can't have anything for it and to stop showering twice a day that it will dry out my skin 😭 not much use xx
