Pregnancy Acne

Hi! I’m on my second trimester and my face has been super oily and acne keeps breaking out everyday. Now it’s not only on my face but all over my back and shoulder :( anyone face the same issues? Any cream to recommend? Thank you :)

I had that from 1st Trimester till 2nd Trimester but it gets better. By Mid 2nd Trimester, I no longer have breakouts. Just acne scars. I changed my facial wash and moisturiser. I stick to this throughout my pregnancy and no more breakouts ever since then.

Hi, Yes this symptom is common during 1st trimester. I would suggest consult your gynae and dermatologist on what cream to use

Do check with gyane during your next visit. Some GP can prescribe cream and safe medication for acne

Thanks! :)

It will go away by itself during second trimester or later. Just hang on it!

My gynae ask me to get T3 mycin gel at pharmacy. Check with ur gynae on what U can use.

If urgent, seek help from dermatologist

Try wash with just plain water.
