    acne help - so depressing

    Hi ladies

    Im just over 5 weeks and ever since I found out I was pregnant my skin has flared up. Ive got a big cystic spot under my mouth and it looks terrible.

    What products is everyone using for their skin? I really want to get rid of this sucker!!!! Its making me feel so bad...

    Can you use proactive? It's the only thing that ever works for me. During pregnancy I used it after the first trimester. Maybe ask your dr about it,

    I had a huge breakout where my whole face was covered. I started washing with just water and putting benzoyl peroxide on each night. Cleared it up right away. I used proactive with my previous pregnancy, but I'm just too lazy to do all the steps this time

    For cystic acne I recommend seeing a dermatologist or skin care specialist that does microdermabrasion, extractions, that sort of thing. I was getting treated once a week for acne with my SIL and it was the only thing that helped. They have this electric zapper thing that they use for cystic acne that's just amazing.

    I'm not sure. It's just a little wand that emits an electric current, and she would use it on painful spots or zits that hadn't come through yet, and they would go away.
