I might be pregnant i was just wondering if body acne was a popular symptom because my skin has always been clear and now my back is breaking out and itchy.
Yes some women will experience some body acne. I got some on my back a few times so far this pregnancy. It goes away like it would with a regular menstrual cycle but then next month I get a couple on my face. Also dry skin can also be a symptom as well. I get that every once in a while too..fun fun fun! LOL
Not sure if its a popular symptom but when I got pregnant I got crazy acne on my face which isn't abnormal but the amount was and some on my back which I never had I also had itchy skin which I heard was a symptom. Hope I was of some help.
Having pimples during pregnancy is not uncommon however it is not a regular complaint of pregnant women. The homonal shifts can cause some outbreak. It could be stress or change in diet.
When you experience the outbreak, try to keep the area clean. Do not scratch if it itches and try some home remedy like tea tree oil (applied to new breakouts) or manuka honey cream.
Avoid scratching or touching often because the hands are not always clean.
yes i never had acne not even with my first pregnancy and this time i had alot of acne on my face and chest !! It was horrible but around beginning of 2nd trimester it cleared up. Dr said its the hormones . Im now 26 weeks
pregnancy adjusts many female hormones. Acne, hair growing where don't want it. Even the hair on your head can change texture. Your nipples and other previous pink areas become a shade of brown.

It can be a sign. Your body's hormones are all out of whack, and it will cause body acne
