Really gross TMI pregnancy symptom??

cd92007 · September 2013

So, my acne has been TERRIBLE with this pregnancy. Probably the worst it's ever been in my life.

Well... this morning I was doing a little landscaping down below in the shower and found a HUGE pimple. I've never had this before, and at first it really scared me. But now, after doing some inspecting, I think it's definitely a pimple. It's painful, too.

Is this "normal"? I'm going to the doctor Weds and will ask her about it.. but it's so gross/embarrassing!

Pregnancy hormones can definitely cause acne flareups on faces, necks, backs, and I wouldn't be surprised to find one on naughty bits, too. Keep an eye on it that it doesn't get infected, though.

Could be an ingrown hair. They look like pimples and that would make more sense down there

I wouldn't worry about it. It might be an ingrown hair if your panties and/or pants are getting tighter? But if it is a pimple, like with a white or black head, and not a hard cyst feeling thing you will be fine

Totally happened to me, inside and outside. Asked my doctor about it, and she says it's the glands down there that are working in overdrive.

The ones outside? Painful, big, very deep, and last a long time. I never get acne and have great skin, but now my body is pretty much a free for all.
