I have all these bumps all over my belly. Is this pregnancy acne. Did anyone else have it. It's really making me depressed. :(

It does looks like pregnancy acne but I can't be sure. Are these itchy? Another possibility would be Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy (PUPPP) which is another common rash associated with pregnancy. They are usually red, small bumps that usually starts at the abdomen and spreads from there. These will be itchy. Check with your doctor to see what are these and which medications are safe for application. If they are acne, I've heard that just applying a thin layer of coconut oil will help. Take care! I know it is depressing to see all these changes, but remember, these are caused by changes in your hormones and are unlikely to be permanent.

Are you using any creams on your belly? This might be an allergic reaction to your stretchmark oil or cream. Don't get too down about it. Pregnancy is an odd time for your body.

thanks
