Acne in pregnancy
The street is not uncommon to encounter a pregnant woman who has to face acne eruptions. The importance of the problem is also reflected in coming to our editorial list: "I have a pimple that I am ashamed to leave the house." "Help me because my acne does not work in any of pregnancy cosmetics." "I heard that pregnant skin condition improves, while at me right now, it is tragic" - these are just a few quotes.
Do hormones affect acne in pregnancy?
Acne in pregnancy is not a common problem, not unclear why occurs in some women - says Dr. Carmen Vincent, a dermatologist with the Centre for Science and Research, Dr. Irena Eris. Probably it affected by the excess of progesterone, which causes anomalies in the work of the sebaceous glands. The cause may also be elevated in pregnancy levels of prolactin, which the skin reacted in this way. Acne, which appeared during pregnancy may disappear soon after birth, but if it caused excess prolactin, will continue at least until the end of breastfeeding. However, do not get angry with each supply pus pimple. If you suspect that changes in the skin are acne, go to a dermatologist, who will assess whether it is really nothing to worry about.
Medications for acne dangerous in pregnancy
Many young women asked in the letters also about whether treating acne, you can try to pregnancy. The answer to this question is complicated. Because - as explained by Dr. Carmen Vincent - everything depends on the condition of the skin, the severity of the disease and medication. Therefore, if you suffer from acne before pregnancy you need to consult your doctor. And although it sounds paradoxical - it takes care of a dermatologist you should opt to conceive a child. The doctor advised by pregnant if acne is firmly bolstered, and the skin has produced a strong inflammation. Previously, you heal because the skin (to the extent to which it will be possible). Usually, in such cases, it is necessary to take oral medications - antibiotics of the tetracycline group or retinoids (eg. Isotretinoin).
Especially used oral retinoids are dangerous to the fetus because it causes birth defects. Dermatologists recommend refraining from procreation, not only during treatment but at least for several months after the (then you can be sure that the drug has been completely flushed from the body). - Patients who take such drugs, I recommend to apply several methods of contraception and pregnancy tests regularly did - adds Dr. Carmen Vincent. If the acne is not nagging, and treatment consists of topical antibiotic ointment or retinoids, which slightly absorbed through the skin at the time the pregnancy is necessary as soon as possible discontinuation of medication and a visit to the gynecologist. The doctor not only to assess the risk of possible complications but also suggest further action.

Excluded are oral medications, falls or therapy with drugs topically applied unless agreed by the gynecologist. - Treatment is always selected individually, the doctor also recommends appropriate cosmetics - explains Dr. Carmen Vincent. Day cream must have sunscreen because the skin acne is more vulnerable to staining. At night, you can use any creams if used before pregnancy and the skin on not react well. Pimples can mask the equalizer and background opaque, but then it is necessary to carefully make-up removal, in addition to the molecule of cosmetics, do not block the pores escape. Do not however exfoliate the skin in cosmetic surgery or dermatological, and if you want to go to an anti-acne treatment, be sure to tell about the pregnancy.
