Pregnancy Acne

Any ideas on dealing with pregnancy acne?

I am pregant again and I get the worst acne under my chin, I hate it. I usually don't have skin problems but this is crazy. Does anyone have something that worked for them when they were pregnant even home remedies are welcomed. thanks

You might not be able to prevent the problem altogether, but here are some tips that may help:
• Wash gently with a mild soap or cleanser twice a day, and if you use moisturizer make sure it's oil-free. Don't scrub your face with a washcloth, since scrubbing can make the problem worse. Instead, use your hands to gently wash your face.

• Pat your skin dry rather than rubbing it, which can irritate acne.

• Don't squeeze, rub, or pop your pimples — it'll make the problem worse and could lead to scarring.

• If you wear makeup, use products that are water- (not oil-) based and are labeled "noncomedogenic" or "nonacnegenic," meaning they won't clog your pores and cause breakouts. Be sure to wash off your makeup before going to bed, too.

• Ask your doctor or midwife about using medicated gels or lotions. If your acne is severe, you may need to see a dermatologist. A number of over-the-counter and prescription products help clear up acne, but some of the ingredients haven't been well studied in pregnancy — so don't use any acne preparation without your caregiver's okay.

It's particularly important to avoid the oral prescription drug isotretinoin (Accutane), which can cause serious birth defects. Avoid using topical tretinoin-like Retin-A as well. Prescription antibiotic creams containing erythromycin or clindamycin are perfectly safe, but stay away from those with tetracycline.
