Since 2nd trimester started my back is full of pimples, never had this before. Dont want to use anything random that could harm baccha. How are you ladies dealing with it safely?
I know how hard it is when your body changes so much after all you've been through. For my back acne, I just used a mild, soap-free body wash and wore loose cotton clothes. Please be very gentle with your skin right now.
I totally understand how frustrating it is to deal with this when u already have so much discomfort. Just remember this is temporary and because of the beautiful life growing inside u. Try wearing soft cotton and avoid touching them.
Acne during pregnancy is completely hormonal, so standard OTC acne treatments might not be safe. Actually, it is best to ask your dermatologist or gynac before applying anything with salicylic acid. Stick to simple neem or tea tree washes for now.
Oh, the pregnancy glow they promised turned out to be back acne for me too! I felt like a teenager again, but not in a good way. Just wear breathable clothes and let your back breathe, it's just hormones playing games!
I had terrible bacne while pregnant, and even now while breastfeeding, some hormones are still active. What worked for me was using a clean cotton towel every day and taking quick showers after sweating. Avoid heavy scrubs as they irritate the skin more.
