Can you use benzyl peroxide on your skin when pg?

ive got it terribly too. ive started using a very tiny amount of clean and clear (with the benzyl peroxide) over my chest, my back, and on my cheeks.
i put a dab of clearasil spot clearer on each of my pimples but only every second day, as my skin is very sensitive at the moment.
ive noticed a big difference this week since using it.]]> Thu, 18 Oct 2007 16:42:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11599&PID=231801&title=pimples-help#231801 <![CDATA[Pimples - help! : i had real bad acne while pg as...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11599&PID=231800&title=pimples-help#231800 Author: megrac

cant help with the pimples but the sweaty boobs thing if you put a bit of powder wher it rubs it will help reduce the chafing.   a good excuse to start buying baby powder !?

oh emz big hugs - It really sucks when your body goes rogue on you ay?

I haven't got the pimples but the skin under my boobs is chaffing heaps because of them sweating when I wear a bra (which I have to because mine are ginormous too)

Yeah the MW might even be able to refer you somewhere so it's cheaper than if you just roll up there yourself.

It's ok to feel crappy about this - I often feel cheated when I read about the other girls buying cute maternity tops and bras and I can't even manage a boulder holder. Just hang in there and try to look forward to the good stuff.

I got REALLY bad acne on my face when pregnant last time. I never found anything that cleared it. I was hopeing to get away with it this time, but my face has started to brake out again

Sorry no help, its these stupid hormones]]> Thu, 18 Oct 2007 13:42:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11599&PID=231665&title=pimples-help#231665 <![CDATA[Pimples - help! : Thanks, yeah will bring it up...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11599&PID=231656&title=pimples-help#231656 Author: emz

Thanks, yeah will bring it up next time I'm at the m/w to see if she has any suggestions. Oh you gotta love all of these things that noone ever tells you about pregnancy!

I had stupid pimples under my boobs too. And I'm sure you are right that its from giganta boobs rubbing on your stomach.

Yeah it's probably those dam hormones, but maybe try going to a skin specialist. Even ask your MW or the pharmacist if there is anything you can try. Sorry I don't really know.

I'm sure lots of women get pimples in strange places when they are pregnant. I know I have some on my knees at the moment Which I thought was very strange!!

And don't be embarrassed.

Aww no Emz thats not cool, what about popping into the chemist and speaking to them about it? They may be able to put you onto something that will help? Have you tried that clearsil(I think thats what it is) body wash? Clearsil works well for my DF who gets icky pimples sometimes where he shaves his face and neck.

Hi everyone, this is embarassing but I really need help on this one.

I've always had bad skin because of PCOS but for about a year before becoming pg my skin had cleared up. Well now its making up for lost time and I have pimples (well acne) EVERYWHERE! My face (not too badly surprisingly), my back, under my boobs (I think that's more from my giganta-bossoms rubbing on my stomach! ), and the weirdest one is I've now got them on my stomach, almost in a line down to my belly button.

I'm so self-conscious that I won't go and get fitted for a mat-bra because I'm so embarrassed and I hate it everytime I have to go to the m/w or go for a scan. Is there anything I can do? The only reason I can think of that they've come back is the crazy hormones, but surely I can control them somehow! I've got a pretty good skincare regime which I now have to do all over my body and its still not working.

Can anyone help me? It's just another thing on a big list about this pregnancy thats making me absolutely miserable and I don't want to feel this way at all. ]]> Wed, 17 Oct 2007 21:50:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11599&PID=231336&title=pimples-help#231336
