I would call the OB and talk to the nurse, acne shouldn't itch. You may have something else going on that is treatable. In the meantime LEAVE IT ALONE! I would put some cortisone cream on it to help with the itching- it is perfectly safe for baby.

If I could suggest anything it would to go get microdermabrasion done just on that part of your face. I am 26 weeks pregnant and broke out with acne all over my shoulders.. I mean really badly to. I did do research before getting it done, and it wont harm the baby. I did ask the doctor and she suggested not to do it only because the hormones we are experiancing could maybe leave us with a scar. Well I couldn't take it anymore and got it done.. and I am regreating not getting it done sooner. All those creams that where prescribed to me did nothing compaired to one session of micro. I can wear tank tops again!!!
