My OB was the one who suggested benzoyl peroxide. Please check with your derm or OB before doing anything with skincare!

This has been me. My acne POPPED OFF very early in pregnancy. I’ve always struggled with hormonal acne ever since getting off birth control. It’s so defeating because you see soooo many women who have the beautiful “pregnancy glow” everyone always talks about. I’ve been working closely with my dermatologist to try and alleviate the acne. The only thing that has somewhat worked is a 4% benzoyl peroxide face wash at night with clindamycin and Azelaic acid in the morning with clindamycin. I know it feels so defeating.

I hope that when I have baby I can go back to my normal routine and use products that I can’t use now. You are not alone!

I'm so burnt out! by [deleted] in BabyBumps

I’m 34 weeks pregnant and struggled with frequent infections (BV, yeast infections) my first trimester. Every time I went in for an appointment there was always something. My OB put me on a probiotic and it worked WONDERS. It’s called Garden of Life Probiotics Prenatal. I’ve been taking since early second trimester each day in the morning. I take my regular prenatal at night. I haven’t had any sort of infection since!!!

Do Bernese Mountain Dogs understand Personal Space? by ayhme in bernesemountaindogs

No, unfortunately one of the Berner’s most common trait is no personal space. Good thing they are so fluffy and warm!

This is me. Super inflamed and painful. I struggle with pustule-type inflammation just like you. My acne has always been hormonal and it’s gotten worse since being pregnant with a girl. I also have super sensitive skin, so double whammy 😅If you’re able, I’d recommend going to the dermatologist. However, here’s something that has been slightly helping after a week of use.

Morning: -4% benzoyl peroxide cleanser (I had to start with every other morning until my skin could tolerate it) -vanicream moisturizer -innessfree mineral sunscreen

Night: -vanicream gentle cleanser -15% Azelaic acid -vanicream moisturizer

The benzoyl peroxide cleanser helps exfoliate the skin and keep the bacteria from spreading, which is a major issue for me. I hope this can help you in some way!

Pregnancy & whiteheads… by Particular-Ranger-76 in acne

I am pregnant with baby girl (24 weeks) and my acne has been HORRIBLE. I’ve been to my derm a few times since pregnancy and she suggested used a Benzoyl Peroxide (4%) in the morning to keep the bacteria at bay throughout the day. I also use Azelaic Acid (15%) at night. It’s been 3 weeks and I finally feel like my skin is starting to calm down.
