Azelex is Rx but I believe safe. You would have to check.
Why not try natural skincare? I like La Vitton. (not pg, just know about skincare!)

My skin is still full of acne (mostly all over my back) at 25 weeks. I never had it before. My dr said the OTC stuff I use is fine. I use Neutrogena acne wash.

I also use Neutrogena Acne wash and my OB said it was fine- It helps me somewhat, not completely gone but better than nothing Chat Icon

I thought that has salicylic acid and we're not supposed to use that?

It's one of those things where every dr will say something different....like hair dye, how much caffeine, etc. My dr says the 2% salicylic acid in skin care stuff is really not an issue. If it were alot more, and if you were actually ingesting, then there would be a cause for concern. But the 2% in face wash that ends up being diluted with water once it's on your skin is no biggie.

Re: My face is full of achne.

I use erythomicin (perscribed by my derm). It's safe and works great.

Re: My face is full of achne.

I know it sounds crazy - but try bacitracin (triple antibiotic ointment) - for the acne that has already come out it really works .........
For those that you just KNOW are going to pop out tomorrow, try some rubbing alcohol

on drugstore.com , skincare section type in search Belli products . They are for those who are pregnant , it's safe and supposedly works very well.

I've been using it for about a week now and I think I'm finally clearing up!! My pimples were outta control- huge, painful. I got it on drugstore.com and they were having a buy one, get one 50% off sale. Not sure if it's still going on....

I just ordered the Belli Acne Facial Wash. Is there something else good for acne made by the Belli line? A spot treatment?

I broke out 6 months PP from DD and the only thing that actually cleared it up was Cetaphil. I would try the liquid soap and then their moisturizer. Either Rite Aide, CVS or Walgreen's is having a sale this week where Cetaphil is 1/2 price.

Do you use the topical erythromicin or the pills?

Re: My face is full of achne.

I'm 18 weeks and still have acne. I've used cetaphil, aveeno aprictot scrub, and belli acne face wash. I really can't recommend one over the other since my skin still looks horrible. I do spot treat with toothpaste which does seem to dry up the pimples a litttle.

Re: My face is full of achne.

You can also try witch hazel-my Dr prescribed Clindamyacin topical which worked well. I actually broke out all over my neck which went away around 17 weeks with the clindamyacin.

Re: My face is full of achne.

With my ds i had acne all over my chin and it bothered me so much i went to the dermatologist. this time around it isn't as bad and i can tolerate it. i just bought the neutragena thing that is the handheld little vibrating machine with the wash disks you use a few times a week and it made my face really smooth, not like when i get peels but it improved it. maybe you could try something like that. i know it stinks but once you have the baby your skin gets better
