3 Acne Treatments to Use When Pregnant
Yesterday I wrote acne causing foods. Today, I would like to inform acne and pregnancy, especially acne treatments using when pregnant. In facts, acne and pregnancy are more common than most women realize, and tends to get worse during the first trimester pregnancy when the levels of hormones are at their highest.
Here are the top 3 that may be recommended to you by your doctor:
1. Erythromycin: - this is mainly an antibiotic treatment applied to the affected areas.
2. Benzamycin Gel:- This combines erythromycin and benzoyl peroxide and has been considered safe and effective for use during pregnancy.
3. Azelaic acid:- A natural chemical produced by a yeast. Mainly found in prescription products of Azelex and Finevin. This drug is classified by the FDA as a category B drug, and should only be used when necessary or when prescribed by your doctor.
When pregnant, the best that you can do for both yourself and your baby is to avoid all oral medicines. On saying that, oral erythromycin, (if you’re not allergic to it), may be safely taken if your acne is really bad and monitored by your doctor.
