During pregnancy there are changes in hormone levels of the woman. Due to this the skin secretes more oil and results in acne. This condition is also called a skin breakout during pregnancy. Women who have more tendencies for breakout suffer more intensely. One should avoid using greasy cosmetics to prevent this acne problem.
Increased oil gland activity creates clogged pores and, in turn, causes outbreaks of lesions which are commonly known as "pimples" or "zits". These lesions are generally found on the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulder regions. Teenagers and pregnant women suffer more from this. There are some things that you can do to prevent these breakouts during pregnancy.
The first thing to reduce breakouts during pregnancy is to keep your skin clean. After cleaning the skin, rinse it with lukewarm water. Using an oil-free facial cleanser is good. Most of all, avoid soaps that contain oils or other skin-irritating substances.
An essential factor in the treatment of acne is prevention. Be very careful and avoid putting your hands on affected areas. Never pick at or rub your skin. This can break the skin or spread acne-causing germs. In some cases, it can cause scarring that will last far longer than your breakouts.
During pregnancy it is important to reduce stress. It is not only helpful in your overall health, but also for your breakouts. Eating a healthy diet also helps along with stress management. Regular exercise also helps in controlling this problem. Regular daily exercise increases blood flow to the skin, and helps it to stay healthier.
Treatment of this condition includes the use of a topical medicated drug. Besides the mentioned topical medicated drugs prescribed during pregnancy that specifically attack the breakout problem, antibiotics have also been helpful in stopping or slowing the spread of these breakouts.
