Acne during pregnancy

My derm moved me to an erythromcin/benzoyl peroxide gel (class B) that's been helpful with the black/whiteheads but much less so with the cystic acne. Lots of water/fruits/veggies, really good sleep, and good exfoliation every other day make a noticeable difference. I'm going on my 5th month, and things have started clearing a bit.

Good luck!


I'm in the same boat as you but that gel isn't doing much for me. I have a huge whitehead that's hung around for WEEKS and hasn't budged. But glad it's helping you.
