Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi Everyone, I am currently 17 weeks pregnant. I have been an acne sufferer most of my adult life, I've tried everything, special diets, proactiv, pills, you name it. The only thing that ever worked for me was the Birth Control Pill which always cleared up my skin. I had read that some people who suffer from acne get a break during pregnancy and I thought maybe I would be lucky but I'm not lol. My acne is full on and it's making me feel very unhappy and self-conscious, this may seem shallow but if you've never had severe acne you don't understand. I'm not talking about a few pimples here and there, it's what they call nodular acne and it's big red and everywhere. I've read online tons of different conflicting solutions for pregnant women and I just don't know what to do. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do about it? I've thought about just riding it out until the end but it just hate the look of my face.
