Pregnancy Acne: pls help

[jazhmine012005]

Hayyy mga sis any suggestion?

kasi hindi sa muka yung problem ko ee meron din sa face pero nawawala agad yung pinaka worst is yung nasa likod ko ang dami dami as in kumakalat sya from shouldernhanggang lower back yung iba nawala na pero puro dark spots. i asked my OB about this sabi normal lang daw talaga yun then she gave me a medicine named "Cetaphil" pero parang wala namang effect.
My hubby told me na pabayaan ko na lang since na mawawala din naman after giving birth sa baby boy namin accordingna din sa OB ko, kaso syempre nakaka-insecure kasi yung mga dress ko nakikita yung back ko kaya yun.

^sis, cetaphil is a gentle cleanser that is non-soap. di sya sabon, di din sya gamot. gentle lang na panglinis. most people with sensitive skin use this. kaming magkakapatid, ito din gamit or celeteque for our face.

kasama talaga ng pregnancy yan sis. bacne and chest/breast acne. some are lucky not to have it, some arent. this is due to the surge of hormones. drink lots and lots of water to drown out and balance naman your hormones, it would help a lot. dont use astringents or any strong acne fighting creams, this will go into your bloodstream and can be harmful to baby. some use organic products pero i never did kasi baka lalong mairritate and dumami lang yung breakouts ko. dont pop or scratch your acne, this will lead to discoloration that can last anywhere from weeks to months (mas madali magkadiscoloration at dark spots ang preggies). eat lots of healthy things- vegetables.fiber.fruits. and iwas sa mga fatty foods. iwas sa mga bagay that used to give you breakouts. iwas din sa stress. take your vitamins.

and yun nga, wag mong pansinin. it will go away. waiting game lang sya. you have to wait it out. like underarm darkening, linea negra, bloating, allergies, madaming mga bagay that can happen during pregnancy, and are natural naman. you have to wait them out lang.

Thanks for the reply sis.

After a bottle of cetaphil na binigay sakin ng OB ko di na ako bumili kasi parang di naman nageeffect sakin. I never used any medicine/cream para sa back acnes ko hinihintay ko na lang mawawala natatakot din kasi ako kasi may mga side effects yun kay baby for sure, kaya yun.
Nawawala naman yung back acnes ko pero may dark spots na kahit hindi ko pina-pop or ini-scratch.

Sa ngayon di ko na lang talaga sya pinapansin, yung older sister ko na lang ang pumapansin para sakin kasi daw nung sya yung preggy di sya nagkaron nang ganun hehe

[iristacey]

i'm having this too. but hindi ko na lang talaga ginagalaw. takot din kasi ako maglagay ng gamot even if sabe nila safe. sabe naman din ni ob, kusa din mawawala yun.

[aybori]

same here ganito na rin ako sa panganay ko dati pero mas matindi lang ngayon hahaha as in pati arms ko na and meron na rin paunti-unti sa tummy ko. tapos ang itim itim pa ang pangit pangit talaga.

OK lang tyagaan lang talaga, pwede naman paderma after manganak, but ako pills lang, since kaylangan ko din naman magpills after giving birth kasi CS ako. Sa panganay ko at first ang ginamit ko diane nagclear tlaga ang pimples ko within 1-2mons ata, hindi ko na lang napansin na unti-unti nawala sya and sinamhan ko din kasi that time ng derma kumuha ako ng package sa bioessence.

Now, hopefully mag ok ulit pag nagpills ulit ako, but this time yasmine na. nagstop kasi ako using diane after mga 5mons lang ata sobrang maiinitin ang ulo ko sa diane

Pansin ko nawala pregnancy acne ko patapos ng 2nd trimester, nagyon kahit sobrang takaw ko sa chocolates di ako nagkakapimples na , sa face, back and even chest..o baka swerte lang ako heheh

naging problem ko ang acne ng 1st and 2nd trimester, mga tipong never ko naexperience na acne eh bigla tumubo..it's jus a phase I guess

[EJ2526]

Let's talk about this thread again. Pregnancy acne.

[tinsantos10]

Nung preggy ako ang dami kong acne. As in. Wala akong inapply sa face. Hinayaan ko na lang sila tumubo hehe. Pero 1 week prior to giving birth, bigla na lang nawala. Super kinis na ng face ko

[EJ2526]

^Ako sis ngayon lang tinubuan ng mga ganyan. Worried ako sa mga dark spots baka hindi mawala.

[Crazylabel]

Nawala na acne ko starting my 10th week, I'm using gentle facial wash/soap and HN sunflower oil before I go to bed, I think effective yung sunflower oil kahit na oily feeling pero pag gising ko naglessen na acne ko. Pati sa dark spots/scars effective sya.

[nageinna]

same here, grabe breakouts ko when i was on my first-second trimester. never ako nagka breakouts even before. kahit may period pa ko one or two zits lang. but nung na preggy ako totally lumabas and worse nag iiwan pa ng dark spots. but i just let it be. ayun when i reached my 4-5th month nag stop na maglabasan. ngayon malapit na ko mag due ok na skin ko wala nang mga breakouts.

[vain_kixie]

Im on my 6th week. So far no pimples even if i had to cut my usual regimen. No toners, no whitening soaps etc. I only use dove and olay and my physiogel moisturizer. I use clindamycin or, erythromycin or  benzoyl peroxide on a regular para sure no pimples na tutubo kaya im scared now na mag appear ang pimple since i apply no medication na.

Pwede bang mag pa facial? I feel like ang dumi lang kasi ng face ko ang sarap pa cleaning.

[katrinac]

11 weeks ako today, pero lucky me kasi wala pa naman pimples na naglalabasan. Nagkaroon ako last month ata, pero nawala din. Pero sa likod ko ata nagtutubuan instead sa mukha. buti nalang tago. Pero aside dun sa walang pimples naman, yung sa gilid ng braso ko parang may rashes. minsan makati, tapos mawawala naman bigla.

[GMGravity]

Buti ka pa sis ako eh tadtad ang likod ko, hanggang sa may lower back actually doon nagsimula tapos paakyat. Lately meron narin ako sa neck at face ko. Hindi ko na lang pinapansin back ko hindi naman makati, medyo nararamdaman ko lang kapag naliligo ako natatamaan ko siya, pero itong sa face at neck conscious ako lagi ko nasasalat kasi di ako nasanay.

[Deeyosa]

Ako naman Sis sa face talaga un breakouts and paisa-isang pimple. My OB said it's okay to use Tea Tree Oil from Body Shop. It worked naman, isang lagay lang

[silvermist07]

Sis deeyosa, e Yung tea tree toner kaya ng body shop okay Lang? Meron kasi ko non e, sayang naman. Thanks sisi!

[twisted_halo]

I have acne-prone skin. When I got pregnant I consulted my derma which products I can still continue.

Big NO-NO are products with the following ingredients:
- Retinoids/Retinoic Acid/Vitamin A
- Benzoyl Peroxide
- Salicylic Acid

The following ingredients are pregnancy-safe or has no known sideeffects:
- Glycolic Acid
- Erythromycin

Another alternative, you can also go all-natural with products like:
- Witchhazel (like Dickinson's Witchhazel Toner from Healthy Opti6ons)
- Tea Tree Oil (from the Body Shop)

Also, B complex or Vitamin B can also cause acne. My OB prescribed me additional supplements to combat nausea, it broke me out with big cystic pimples.I found out through research na possible culprit is Vitamin B. When I stopped taking them it subsided.

When in doubt you can always do a search online. Lots of websites like BabyCenter can advice you on pregnancy-safe treatments.

[meow_pao1]

I never had any pimples /acne sa first pregnancy ko. Now, grabe even on my back meron! So far sa face ko, wala pa masyado. so sabi ko maybe i'm having a baby girl this time haha wala lang!

[morrigan-erinyes]

I usually get cystic acne. Pre-pregnancy it's manageable. Pero ngayon I can't do anything. I usually treat my acne with tea tree oil but I've read na hindi daw sya safe during pregnancy. Although may mga nagsasabi na it's safe, I don't want to take my chances.

Mga sis pwede pa kaya ako gumamit ng braggs ACV as pimple spot treatment? Prior to pregnancy i had hormonal breakout at ito lang talaga nakatulong sakin. I am on my 8th week na pala.
