acne in pregnancy

[Kaur1]

Hello everyone

I am 9 weeks pregnant. And have not had my midwife appointment yet. Besides feeling nauseous, i am having this problem of acne all over my face which hurts as well. I am so scared if it is normal or i am having chickenpox? It is my first pregnancy Please help me and assure me what should i do .

Thank you

Hi, I developed rosacea during pregnancy and still have it now after a year.. not sure if it’s hormonal but most treatments are quite dangerous to take in pregnancy for the baby and if you breast feed so I was told to try and live with it.. It’s amazing what you get use too xx

I would think you need to make an appointment with your GP an explain to them that you're pregnant and are in pain with your skin, so they can give you a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Good luck with your pregnancy
