I'm about 10w5 days and given up on trying to find anything to calm my facial acne. The strangest thing is that the side of my face that I sleep on is relatively clear, it's the other side that is terrible. I cannot figure that out. So far it's on my body only in between my breasts and rising a bit, and also some has appeared on my neck, but my back is not bad at all. Since I'm due mid-August and live in a terribly hot summer climate, I have no idea how I am going to dress for summer. Just trying to survive for now.
I tried honey, acv, and all of the supposedly pregnancy-safe cleansers, but nothing makes any difference, Some things seem to work for one day, and then the acne seems to return with a vengeance. I get little painful whiteheads now on my face.
I seem to recall that when I was doing acv and clay masks it wasn't aggravating it, so that may be a possibility for those who want to try it on their chest/back. I could experiment more with my chest, since so far I am able to keep it pretty well covered. Ahhh, hormones. So glad to be pregnant, so sad to look this way.
