Pregnancy Acne: pls help

[ro-anne]

@vanillamist: pareho tayo para ding mga whiteheads [textspeak!] tumubo sakin during my 1st trimester, meron sa noo, sa baba, sa ilong, sa pisngi at worse pa sa likod! as in!.. sobra ding napapansin sa office [textspeak!] nasa face ko kaya nga sabi din nila boy daw ang magiging baby ko. tapos on my 2nd trimester nagulat na lang din ako nawala sila, meron mang sumulpot pa-isa-isa na lang kaya ang hindi nawala [textspeak!] nasa likod ko siguro gang sa makapanganak ako nandun sila...

[vanillamist]

^ sis buti ka nga nawala na yung iba, sakin as in consistent pa rin sila nandito sa forehead ko,at yung iba sa cheeks.. nag start maglabasan ito nung 3mos preggy ako and until now andito pa rin..pinabayaan ko na nga kase talagang nananawa na ko ng kakatingin sa mirror. sana lang pag nanganak ako, mawala na sila.

[sleepingbutterflies]

i am also having the same problems. ayaw ako i-entertain sa skin 101 for facial khit facial [textspeak!].

[twelvth_goddess]

naku nabawasan man yung sa face ko but i have horrible zit scars on my back. napansin nga ng mom ko kanina and dun ko lang din sya talagang na-notice and they're ugly! kainis! ang kinis pa naman ng back ko dati tapos ngayon wrong timing pa kase summer. hayy...

[vanillamist]

mga sis tingin ko mahirap din pa facial, kase mas sensitive ang preggy diba, so ang tendency mas masakit sa atin pag ineextract mga dumi, and then yung isang prob pa eh yung mga maiiwang scars, which i think eh mas mahirap tanggalin... eh kase diba mejo iba ang level ng hormones natin so baka maging iba ang reaction ng katawan natin.. mahirap na... kaya nga ako talagang nagtitiis na lang, ayaw ko naman isugal na gumamit ng kung ano ano.. hindi ko na lang masyado pinapansin sa mirror ang face ko..

4th pregnancy ko na ito, ngayon lang ako tinigyawat ng todo. di ko alam ano ba pwede gawin para mawala na pimples ko...

Hi there! I had acne during my 5th month. I also had rashes all over my body. Nag pa derma ako pero cream and soap lang binigay. The sad thing is no matter how much I would make ayos I don't look as good as before. I look so different than bago ako nag buntis.

[redzjhen]

hello po, i'm on my 18th weeks and pansin ko lang po, naglessen yung mga pimples/zits ko. even my hubby noticed the changes... tas naglighten yung aura ko, but still mukha pa ring pregnant.hehe

it's really because of the hormones talaga... cetaphil (antibacterial soap) ang gamit ko and i sometimes use mary kay (timewise 3in1 comdination to oily skin) to epoliate and refresh my face..haist...pero so far nawawala na yung malalaking pimples sa bandang jaw line... 

[kaycee0307]

sis suggest ko lang ng nakagamot sa pregnancy acne before ang sea salt.. hindi sya pinagbawal ng OB ko kasi hindi naman sya harsh chemical in fact asin lang sya

please make sure na pure SEA salt ang bibilhin nyo, may rock salt kasi and iodized..


ihalo lang sa tubig.. tapos idab sa may pimples or acne.. natutuyo naman

[VannyVanvan]

@ redzjhen..buti ka pa nag lighten aura mo.

[redzjhen]

^ pero yung nalalaki talagang pimples grabe ang sakit... namamaga pa nga eh.lalo na kapag naarawan. tiis-tiis lang...

^^ sis san po mabibili yung sea salt??? thanks

[kaycee0307]

supermarket sis meron, test mo muna sa isang spot bago mo lagay sa buong face ha, makati sya and stingy at first

[twelvth_goddess]

napansin ko din sa jawline mas prone sa zits.

[mademoiselle]

I broke out really badly on my first trimester ( currently 6 1/2 mos. pregnant) luckily it has subsided. I use Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser, Apple cide vinegar toner and recently I added GNC Vit C cream and Castor oil ( 2x week ) in my regimen.

[ritchelle09]

same here mga sisses...sobra dami ko na butlig kaya naco conscious na ako...pero kailangan magtiis para kay baby.... totoo kaya na kapag prone sa ganito boy ang baby?

[vanillamist]

^sis hindi rin totoo yon. ako ang dami kong butlig sa face and even sa neck at going sa chest na rin, pa 7 months na ko hindi nawawala.. found out sa ultrasound na im having a baby girl..

[**My Sweet November**]

Count me in; my acne is my second worst problem during pregnancy. I had this during my first pregnancy & now on my second, it still occurred.

As for my case, I totally stopped using any beauty regimen - facial toner, facial moisturizer, etc. I did not even do my usual facial &/or skin treatment.

Having too much acne according to some will more likely result a “baby boy” but this is really not true. This is old saying and should not be the basis of knowing the baby’s gender.

Above was just one of the “cons” of being pregnant but it’s all worth the sacrifice. 

NB: For my first, it’s a boy. For my second, I will know the baby’s gender later today. Common denominator: my face is full of acne. Please pray with us to grant us a baby girl this time…

My acne was at its absolute worst when I was pregnant. I'd have pimples before, but not a lot since I could put naman my topical meds and such. But since my derma was pretty conservative, she really did not give me anything during my pregnancy. I was kind of hoping mag clear up na the acne when I was pregnant kasi pwede din naman mangyari yun. It's either mawala siya or it'll get worse. In my case, it got worse. Malas.   

[vanillamist]

may nakita akong herbal soap sa landmark anti-acne daw.. di ko alam kung effective, it is made of moringa, grapeseed oil and nalimutan ko yung isa. hehe.. ang hirap ng ganito ala tayong kalaban laban sa mga naglalabasan sa face natin. 

[mayums]

with my first baby, my acne was at its worst. i had pimples for the whole 9 months, not only on my face, but also sa back, sa chest, sa tummy, etc. lahat ng pwedeng tubuan meron yata. no medications din ako before. nawala naman after i gave birth.

with this second, minimal na lang pero meron pa rin. puro sa face na nga lang. wala na sa body.
