My skin was always clear before but ever since i got pregnant my cheeks and chin are breaking out so badly. Im 13 weeks. Is this a hormone thing that happens to everyone na?
Yes, it is very common because of hormones. Try applying a little cucumber juice or aloe vera gel to soothe it, but don't use any strong medicated creams without asking your doctor.
I panicked so much when my back and face broke out in the first trimester! I thought it would never go away, but it naturally cleared up in the second trimester. It's totally normal.
Yes, it does. Since I had thyroid issues, my skin was already dry and then I got acne. Regular follow-ups with my doctor helped manage all these symptoms safely.
My dermatologist at Max Hospital told me that progesterone surges cause excess oil, leading to acne. She suggested a very gentle, pregnancy-safe cleanser, so do ask your hospital's specialist for safe options.
Oh yes! My face looked like a teenager's while my baby kept me awake all night. Honestly, don't worry about it, you won't even have time to look in the mirror soon!
