Hi,
The pimples in pregnancy is due to effect of androgenic hormones in first and second trimester of pregnancy. It can be managed by avoiding sweating, taking vapor to open pores of skin. Please do not poke it or itch it. Otherwise, it will leave black marks. Vitamin E supplements would help.
Stretch marks are due to stretching of skin in pregnancy. Iching results in black marks. Please don't scratch. Apply Stretchnil ointment on the area gently, don't rub. Applying mixture of edible oil, aloe vera gel, honey (one tea spoon each) turmeric (2 pinches) and black bitter cumin seeds powder (2 pinches) mixed well and can be preserved in fridge. Apply this before bath for 10 minutes would improve skin stretch-ability and health. Thus, reducing stretch marks.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
