Acne On Chest While Pregnant, Question by bh6289: Does anyone else have horrible acne while pregnant? Acne On Chest While Pregnant
I know they say pregnancy can bring on acne, but mine has gotten so awful now that I'm towards the end. I'm 36 weeks and I have little red bumps/zits all over my chest, shoulders and back. They're also starting to get bad on my face. I've NEVER had bad skin in my life...I only have had the occasional zits or pimple during my period, but in the past month my skin is so gross. I was just wondering if anyone else had this during pregnancy and if it goes away afterwards.Acne On Chest While Pregnant, Best answer:
