My skin was always clear yaar and now in 2nd trimester im breaking out on my chin and jaw like a teenager. Cant use my old face stuff because everyone says check with gynac first. Did this happen to anyone else and did it go away?
Yes the hormones can definitely trigger acne, happened to me in my first pregnancy. Keep your routine simple and gentle, avoid strong actives. It usually clears up after delivery, so dont panic about it.
Hormonal acne in pregnancy is super common and usually temporary. I asked my doctor before using any product and she suggested pregnancy safe options. Best not to self treat with strong stuff during these months.
Mine flared up too and I just stuck to a mild cleanser and lots of water. Avoided random acne creams coz some arent safe in pregnancy. For anything serious or painful definitely ask your gynac or a derm.
