Help! I thought I had left acne behind forever. No such luck! I am eight weeks pregnant and my face looks a mess. What is the best way to treat this acne?

Ahhhh, hormones. Yes, they’re back from your teenage years. But don’t grab the Accutane or Retin-A this time. Those prescriptions can harm your unborn child. And don’t try to squeeze or scrub them away – just like your mom told you back in the day.

Talk to your OB and/or dermatologist about what medications might be okay to take during pregnancy. And keep your face and hair washed and rinsed every day. Wear sunscreen and get plenty of water and vitamin A through your diet (milk, fish, eggs and carrots).
