Hi! Im still waiting to see if I get a BFP (testing tomorrow I think

I was wondering if any of ya’ll had acne as an early symptom OR as something that showed up during your pregnancy. I have incredibly clear skin, and since a bit before April 11th (when I experienced 2 days of spotting) my skin has absolutely EXPLODED into horribly painful cystic acne. NONE of it has gone down…

Did any of ya’ll experience acne of any sort with your BFP?

I have asked questions about this before but I am on meds for my cystic acne. I have been on bactrim and clindamycin gel for two weeks but today I started forming 5 more new cysts. I am so depressed I can’t even focus on anything! I hate to look at myself in the mirror all I see are these huge red cysts and along with that scars, and discoloration from future skin issues. I know I know give the medicine time, I hear that all the time but when you look like this you just wish someone would say "Oh this is what you can do" unfortunately i understand there really isn’t anything you can do about cystic acne.
But if anyone has any ideas please feel free to let me know!
Thank You!

I have only recently begun to have terrible acne, and the doc did say that there is some cystic acne. I cant see a dermatologist as there are none available at all in my area, and my GP told me he wont prescribe anything till fall because of the reactions of these meds to the sun. He did recommend an over the counter product, but after one month it began to irritate my skin to the point it was burning. So–the acne is worsening and it HURTS. Isnt there something I can do or use? I have really, really sensitive skin.

I am SO sick of this. I also have Lupus, but I am pretty sure that has nothing to do with it other than causing a severe reaction to a combination of sun and medications….Please help if you can….but please don’t say proactive solution…..thanks.
I really appreciate everyones help!
Please remember I cant go to a dermatologist; there just ISN’T one around here, trust me I have been trying for ever:(

The OTC product I was using was PanOxyl.

I also cannot any drugs that can cause reactions with the sun, as I already have Lupus which causes me to get hives and sunburn even before any meds:(
Well, found something that works very well for me, immediately! I am using Dove Sensitive Essentials face wash with Dove Day Lotion SPF, then at night I wash with Dove, then put on Aloe Gel, then use Garnier "A" spot treatment or crest toothpaste, and I cannot believe how well its working!!!

i got the same cystic acne every month during my period. i’ve tried everything to make it dissapear but it always comes back. How do i keep it from coming back and or get rid of it quick?!?

my pretty friend has got tons of huge acne on her face….its giving her a complex and she doesnt like to go out much.Doctor says its cystic acne and that she mite have to undergo all kinds of hormonal tests.

I have this giant bump that grew on my earlobe, its tumor-like, and painful, is this cystic acne?
i am 28 years old and have never had anything like this.

Can someone plz suggest some natural remedy that will get rid of my cystic acne??? I’m tired of looking like a junior high aged kid.

I have painful cystic acne and my dermatologist put me on birth control pills (Yasmin) to see if it will begin to clear it up. I was wondering if anyone has been on Yasmin and have noticed a difference in their acne and whether it helped clear it up or not.

Thanks for the answers in advance=)
