Suddenly my face is breaking out so badly, never had this much before. Period is 4 days late and im wondering matlab could this be an early sign? anyone else got acne before they found out?
Yes, it can be a sign due to the surge in progesterone levels which increases sebum production. My doctor explained that this extra oil clogs pores, causing breakouts in the first trimester. She specifically warned me not to use salicylic acid or retinoid creams as they aren't safe during pregnancy.
Since I have PCOS, I already had acne issues, and pregnancy made it a bit worse initially. It is definitely a common hormonal sign, but don't assume anything without taking a proper home pregnancy test or blood test. Take it easy and let your body adapt.
Haha, they say pregnancy gives you a 'glow', but for many of us, that glow is just acne! Those hormones literally go crazy and make us look like teenagers again. It's totally normal, don't worry, your clear skin will come back.
Yes, dear, it is quite common to get acne because of hormonal changes. Try to drink lots of water and wash your face with a mild soap. It will settle down soon, just take care of yourself.
When I got sudden breakouts, I immediately asked my doctor at the hospital during my regular checkup. The clinical staff was so helpful and told me it's just hormonal fluctuations. They advised me not to use any OTC acne creams without consulting them first.
Hormonal acne is very common, but don't spend a lot of money on expensive skin treatments or fancy dermatologist fees right now. Better to save that budget for your upcoming scans and delivery prep. Just use simple ghar ke nuskhe like multani mitti and keep your skin clean.
