Currently pregnant and been having awful cheek acne. I cant even tell what kind of acne this is. I used to have bad cheek acne that left a lot of scars. It cleared with tretinoin but since being pregnant, I cant use tretinoin.

Ive been getting these giant pimples with multiple white heads, and this is how it looks after. Anyone seen this before?

Pregnancy normally clears up acne, but as you have seen, it can also cause flare ups sometimes.

Here's some info on how to treat acne during pregnancy.

And here are some alternative treatments.

I've known many women who have done the regimen while pregnant, but before you do anything, you want to talk to your doc.
