Many women have sudden increase of acne during pregnancy because hormone levels are fluctuating. I am on my fourth month of pregnancy and I must say I need some acne treatments that work because as my pregnancy progresses, my acne worsens. They say that I should consult my OB-GYNE or seek a dermatologist’s help first before buying any acne creams and over-the-counter products because there are many chemicals and acids used in acne products that can be harmful to my baby. I am hesitant in using Benzoyl Peroxide, Saliclyic acid or erythromycin even though they are recommended and safe treatments for me. I guess the safest way is to consult my OB-GYNE then.
