Does anyone else have horrible acne along their chin line?
I’m 9 weeks pregnant аnd I’m experiencing horrible PAINFUL flared up acne along mу chin line.
I саn’t even touch іt, thаt’s hοw much іt hυrtѕ!
Thеrе іѕ ѕοmе rіght under mу chin аѕ well.
Anyone еlѕе having acne іn thеіr early pregnancy?
Tο thіnk I wаѕ totally clear οf acne іn mу first pregnancy!
I wash mу face twice a day аnd I don’t wear foundation. I apply a gentle moisturizer three times a day.
I υѕе thе whole Estee Lauder line. Sο I highly doubt іtѕ bесаυѕе οf poor facial hygiene.
I had it so bad, and it was worse around my jaw line. I am naturally acne prone, but it was so bad for me from about 5 weeks to about 30 weeks. Actually, one of the first signs I noticed that made me take a test was that my skin was clearing up. That was at 3.5 weeks. I thought maybe I’d be clear through this pregnancy. Boy, was I wrong. I am 34 weeks now, and it has cleared up considerably, I think because my stress has been greatly reduced by my boyfriend moving in.
Acne along the jaw line is often and most usually simply a case of bad facial hygiene. If its sore, then you could try dabbing cream (Sudocreme works amazingly [if youre in the UK].) along the inflamed areas every morning and evening. I’m not sure what it could be, but if it persists or gets worse, I reccomend consulting a dermatologist.
Hope this helps and congratulations on your pregnancy!
I had been treating my face for Rosacia before I found out I was pregnant. I got a really bad flare up before i found out I was PG, but now that I know, that has to be the reason. Acne isn’t uncommon according to my doctor. If it gets to the point to where it starts bleeding, I would call your doctor and see if there is a topical cream you can put on the won’t harm your baby (since lotions can soak in through your skin and get into your bloodstream.
