Suggest Treatment For Acne On Face During Pregnancy

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 of all 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
Thanks
