Hi I am a 22year old married girl and 4months pregnant with my first baby. I have noticed that ever since I got pregnant my skin is horrible. My skin has always been acne prone but never like this..I have pimples all over my face specially on cheeks. I know I can t use certain medicines and creams because they can cause harm to my baby but I still want to know what can I do to lessen this. Also, my skin is getting really dry.
Hi, I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options. 1) First do not panic. 2) This kind of problem of acne is seen in many pregnant women. As you rightly said, many of the medicines routinely use for acne cannot be used in pregnancy. 3) I will suggest you to wash your face 3 times a day with good face wash. Use of Erythromycin ointment twice a day for ten days.  Avoid deep-fried foods, bakery products and refined sugars in diet. I hope this answer helps you Thank Chat Doctor.
