Morning friends,in today's post I'll try to present a brief review of ACNE PROBLEM IN PREGNANCY.

Effect of pregnancy is varied on the presentation of acne.In some women,even the acne may subside during pregnancy.But in majority of women will experience a flare-up of acne.This flare-up may take place due to the action of progesterone,a hormone that increases during pregnancy,which increases the secretion from the glands.Acne is more common in first trimester.

Post-partum women can also have acne for the first time.[Post-gestational acne]

TREATMENT:1.Keep the area clean 2.maintain hydration. 3.Topical erythromycin.topical clindamycin,oral erythromycin may be used. 4.It's better to avoid tretinoin application.

Please don't use this drugs without proper prescription of your doctor.
