Acne? Going from forehead into hair.....seriously?

sarahjanisse

I have never had a pimple problem. I am 11 weeks and my back is breaking out and I have pimples along my hairline going into my scalp (just a few) OMG so weird. This is ridiculous!! I hear it could mean girl though?

It did for me the first time! I've never had great skin but it was terrible during pregnancy with DD. Pregnancy glow was more like grease sheen:/

I had the forehead acne show up just after week 10.  It was pretty awful!  Hoping it will go away soon as I get in to second trimester in less than a week!

Mine hasn't been too bad on my face and body but it's all over my scalp. This happened during my last pregnancy too. I'm constantly picking at my head ... Ugh

Honestly, I have one in my hairline right now and it is so big that I am about 90% sure it has its own brain and heartbeat... The miracle of life?!?!?!

I struggle with acne when I'm not pregnant - with my daughter my first pregnancy my acne cleared up completely while I was pregnant which was awesome! This time around, not so much. It's much worse than it is normally. All over my chin, lovely!

I have hairline acne right now too, and I typically don't have ANY acne. Actually, the whole rest of my body is super dry...

I totally could have written this post! I nevrr broke out before, now I havw huge painful zits around my temple areas, and all around there. Including where my ears meet my face. I feel so gross. Especially because I have perioral dermatitis which looks like zits all over my chin,cheek, and forehead. I can't win.

I have scalp/hairline pimples too! So gross. My scalp gets so greasy these days!

Sometimes I feel like I'm going through a second puberty.

I have them too! I'm mainly breaking out on my chin and in my hair line.

I broke out terribly with my girls also, so I'm betting this is a girl also.

You know the OWT says, if you don't have that glow, you're breaking out, greasy hair, you're having a girl and she's stealing your good looks.

That is exactly where my breakouts are! I am so self conscious about it! I haven't had to think about make up or my skin since high school!

I'm having the same problems. My chin is awful, my forehead is like a mountain range, and I'm constantly picking at my scalp, face, and back, making it even worse! Gah.

Me too

I wonder if it's true that it means more likely a girl..?

I suffered with bad acne growing up. But I've had pretty nice skin through collage and adulthood. But OMG. I don't get a bunch of little zits but one or two BIG ones and my back is horrible and embarrassing now! I'm going to ask my doctor about it next visit!

I had horrible acne when I was pregnant with DS, who is most definitely not a girl. It's a symptom of pregnancy, not an indicator of the baby's sex. I had constant breakouts on my forehead, chin, cleavage, upper back, and behind my ears. This pregnancy so far my breakouts are all on my forehead and scalp.

I know it's just an OWT, but I'm glad to hear it's not accurate and that there's still hope for a boy.

Omg me too. I have pimples all over my chest, hair, ears, neck, back and of course all over my face

Omg! I've got this huge zit on my hairline behind my ear!!! My chin has exploded! And I'm getting these tiny bumps on my arms that have a lump of white stuff that comes out! Thankfully on my arms it doesn't look like zits I can just feel them!!!!

The bumps on the arms sound like keratitis pilaris. It's when dead skin doesn't slough off properly and ends up clogging the pores. Very similar to pimples, but without the inflammation. Exfoliating with a pair of scrubby bath gloves every day will help that.

I haven't had issues with acne since high school, but the last few weeks my back was really bad.  That is getting better, but I have two volcano sized pimples on my chin right now.  They are disgusting. My husband couldn't even pretend to not see them yesterday and come up with some lie about how they aren't noticeable.  I'm sure the makeup over them is not helping either.
