So I think it took a total of 3 weeks to notice the drastic change in my skin after stopping dairy. I remember it like yesterday. I had met THE greatest esthetician on the planet and was supposed to g...

Hey there...so once I got pregnant in 2007, by the 3rd month my skin went to hell. It didn't stop pretty much the whole pregnancy. It calmed down some but was still there for sure. I'd say in 2009, af...

Uggghhh so sorry you have to go through this. BUT better now that you are not pregnant. That way you can use any topical you can. I was on Yasmin for about 7-8 years with a few months off in between. ...

Hello! Congratulations on your baby! Sorry you're dealing with acne. How was your skin during pregnancy and before pregnancy? Our hormones get very out of whack after delivery. Even a few months after...

So I experienced this as well. Basically I realized that after bp has dried and i put on my moisturizer, any and i mean any residue that might get around that area will be itchy and burn one day then ...

Sorry for the delayed response.. When i wasnt pregnant this is what i did. I cleaned up my diet. That was the most important thing I could have done. Next I followed with a strict regimen. Washing twi...

I have that one too... Honestly, your skin doesn't feel like it peeled but it did. You may just have tough skin like you say. Just be careful. I did this a few times like 3 days apart too. Didn't thin...

How long did you leave your peel on for? If you don't mind me asking, what brand did you use? Salicylic acid peels are extremely beneficial for acenic skin. I think you can benefit a great amount by...

Glad you were able to switch your pills. Ortho novum and desogen, to my knowledge, don't help too much in controlling acne. Everyone is completely different though. If you're going to be on birth con...

Totally me! It's a trip how I can't look at myself in the mirror up close anymore. Actually if there's a bright light anywhere near a mirror I can't look at myself. I hate that but it's a security bla...

What kind of hair loss do you have? Patchy, losing clumps or balding. Honestly there's a lot of causes and different patterns. If you're shedding a lot if suggest a supplement called phytophanere diet...

Epsom salts are my savior right now that I'm pregnant. It doesn't stop new ones from forming I don't think, but it totally heals and speeds up the process without drying your skin out. I actually just...

You can absolutely use a lactic peel. Make sure you stop using it at least 4-5 days before and resume at 3 days post peel. I have pretty tough skin. So I stop using my retinols and such usually 2 or 3...

I hope you talked to your OB about that. I mean I'm sure it wouldnt hurt but you just always want to be on the safe side of things. Also, Yasmin makes you clear as long as your on it. Not trying to sc...

They are VERY beneficial! I say go for it. I am a licensed esthetician and have suffered from acne for 5 years. Facials help keep my skin under control and free of acne. Although if I eat like poop, i...

Oh hell yes! Totally happened to me for the first time in my life in 2008 3 weeks after I had my son. My acne was so severe during pregnancy that I wanted whatever that was left over afterwards to cle...

I know why it happens but it always makes me scratch my head about why some acne goes away, gets worse or suddenly appear for the first time during pregnancy! Glad you had a clear time though. Spiro s...

Very possible that it could be hormones AFTER the fact you've had a baby. I'm going to write my personal experience in the right place after this but I'll write it here for you since I'm responding. A...

Hi! Yea I got of in January and was fine until I got pregnant in march. It started very slowly, with blackheads and clogged pores. Then in to my 14-15th week bye bye "decent" pregnancy skin. It explod...

Oh my god! That sounds like something I Could have written. I was also on Yasmin for like 7-9 years. Always flawless... Got off to get pregnant and BAM, cysts, papules/pustules. Honestly when you're r...

Awww, I'm so sorry you have to deal with this at such a special time in your life. I too am pregnant. I'm 5 1/2 months and feared getting acne because of the experience I had with my first son. I wa...

After the birth of my first son, I was put on Spiro to treat the horrific acne that plagued my skin during pregnancy. It was 3 weeks after delivery and I never experienced melasma in my life before th...

Oh please let us know how it works if you tart taking it. I'm currently 5 months pregnant and looking for a giid treatment after my son is born. No hormones... At least I'm not leaning that direction....

Hi guys!!! Just adding my 2 cents on birth control. When I was 16-17 I got on birth control and noticed it kept any breakouts at bay. As soon as I would get off, it would soon come back with a vengean...

I have heard so much about this product through the years. I suffered tremendously in 2007 from pregnancy acne and am currently 5 months along now. I'm just beginning to have some breakouts. Maybe I'l...
