Skin going crazy!

LuluP82

I normally have really good skin. I made it through my teenage years with barely a blemish. One of the ways I knew I was pg way before my missed period was that during my 2 week wait I got a few breakouts!

Well, yesterday my chin decided to grow a painful baby. Any safe remedies? I know that I shouldn't use regular creams and spot treatments.

Thanks ladies!

I've been fighting with cystic acne for over a year now and had to stop taking my meds cuz of baby... and they're starting to take over again. Do not pop it!! It'll leak forever and will probably just fill back up again. My grocery store is weird and has all this all-natural, organic acne stuff that I've tried just about everything for, but I found that using a tea tree oil face wash and getting a bottle of tea tree oil for spots helps. Get a cotton pad (the cotton balls tend to let everything run out of them), wet it, apply some of the oil, and dab it on the cyst. It worked for me for about a month before I had to move on to something else cuz my face hates me. If you can stand the sting, some toothpaste on it at night will dry it out a good bit. Will probably take a couple nights but it works.

I use Renee Rouleau Anti Cyst Treatment, which actually works if you apply it as soon as you feel one forming.

 I have lots of breakouts and it's been worse since I've been pregnant since I can't use my regular benzoyl peroxide/salycilic acid stuff. I just ordered some new stuff with neither of those ingredients that hopefully will arrive soon. I feel like I've been searching my whole life for the elusive acne remedy...the Renee Rouleau product is one I've actually found makes a difference, but again, you have to catch it early. (It's pricey, but worth it to me.)

Ooh I'll look into that stuff! I feel like I've tried EVERYTHING, why not add one more to the list? lol
