acne and TTC
Since going off the pill I've started breaking out along my chin and I'm really upset about. I battled with acne all through college and it was really bad. I had gone on accutane and that helped clear it up for good (i thought), but now it's coming back!
My question is...besides a good cleanser , what acne meds or treatments are safe to use while TTC or pregnant??

Re: acne and TTC
Check with your dermatologist. There may be some topical products you can use.

Re: acne and TTC
my OB was fine with both Proactiv and the Clinique 3-Step line. I think this is one of those topics that every doctor has a different view on!!

Re: acne and TTC
Azelex (Azelaic Acid) is safe.
You might want to try something natural. Julietscosmetics.com sells a nice 3-step routine that I currently use. I use Murad...and love it, but lately it's not cutting it. Sometimes you just need a switch. Also, we're not TTC, but chin acne is almost always hormonal acne....
