breaking out like never before

ugh my poor face, this is easily the worst my skin has been ever been, I don't even want to look in the mirror. 9 weeks along, I hope this gets better rather than worse. Or else I don't think I can leave the house.

Re: breaking out like never before

  • I just suddenly started getting cystic acne... I don't want to leave the house. Nothing seems to be helping. No advice, but I feel your pain

  • I was like that with my DS. It was HORRIBLE!! My last pregnancy I didn't get a single pimple. This time around it's half and half, but my skin is SO dry! Ug!
  • I just did a cinnamon and honey scrub. Let's see if this does any magic.
  • My face has been so bad! The only time it starts to get better is if I use oil free face wash every day
  • I'm 11 weeks and mine has been awful for the last week. It's so frustrating, reminds me of my teenage years.
  • I have broken out with straight cystic acne since week 4. Luckily my dermatologist is a goddess and has been helping calm it down with some microderm and glycolic peels. Seems to have helped a smidgen.

     

     

     

  • I feel your pain sisters. I am one of those lucky people who has never had more than a single pimple at any given time until this last week. Not only is my face breaking out but my shoulders and back as well. It is painful and I want to attack my poor skin in the mirror.
  • I have never had skin issues before and my face looks like I have chicken pox!!! Mostly forehead and chin areas. I'm doing my best with my makeup routine in the morning to hide it all and my cleansing routine at night but, ugh.....losing battle!! Any recommendations??

  • Ok. I'm glad someone is talking about this. Before my BFP, I had NASTY back acne! I have NEVER had that ever. I could not figure out what the heck was going on. But as of week 8, that has seemed to settle down. Thanks goodness!! Crossing my fingers for clear skin to stay. Haha!
  • Ugh me too!!! I've never broken out this bad before. 8w today

    Isn't there an old wives tale with acne and the sex of the baby?

    Worse acne is supposed to mean girl. "Stealing momma's beauty" is the phrase.
  • I've been getting some chin acne as well as on my back and on my chest, which is new! Hopefully it doesn't last long...
  • I just stopped using proactiv because started making my faceburn and turn red. My other moisturizer has sacrilyc acid in it so thats no good. Now I'm getting pimples on my neck which is so annoying. I didn't even use proactiv on my neck!

    I guess I will be looking into some natural remedies.
