My skin was always clear before but now suddenly pimples are popping up everywhere. Didnt expect this at all yaar. Is this just a pregnancy thing that happens to most or only me?
With PCOS, I already had acne issues, and pregnancy hormones made it flare up slightly. It is very common, but please check with your doctor before applying any acne creams.
It is absolutely common due to the progesterone spike. Keep your face clean, use a basic water-based moisturizer, and stay away from salicylic acid unless cleared by your gynac.
Yes, hormonal acne is very common, especially in the first trimester. Just drink lots of water and avoid scrubbing them, they will settle down on their own.
Oh yes, my face was full of pimples in the first few months! It felt annoying then, but looking back, it's just a phase and my skin cleared up completely after delivery.
