Hi, I'm currently 19 weeks pregnant and suffering with extremely bad acne on my face - cheeks in particular. Always had bad sick growing up but nothing like this. Can anyone recommend any treatment that I can get from my GP or natural remedyto help - currently covering with a lot of make up which isn't good. Thank you

Hi, one if my daughters gas suffered terribly with acne and cystic acne for 14 years. She has tried all sorts of treatments and diets except strong long term antibiotics. Recently she read that manuka honey on a clean face at night can help. She us willing to try anything si did. The first night she applied too much and it dripped everywhere lol. Next night she applied a thin layer to her cleansed face and it was much less of a nuisance. She still uses it most nights ( since mid Jan) and feels there has been a good general improvement, definitely enough of one to continue using. She still gets some spots but they are much more manageable. Any manuka honey should do, but she is currently using +15. Obviously it's all natural so nothing to loose. Hope this helps.
