Pregnant women are also prone to acne. This occurs due to
an increase in the levels of estrogens in their bodies. Although
the acne gets worse during the first trimester, it eventually
improves as the pregnancy goes on.

One major hitch in treating acne that occurs during pregnancy is
the intake of certain drugs to cure it. Oral medicines must be
totally avoided as they can affect the developing fetus.

Pregnant women should never take medications without first
consulting their doctor.

Medicines to be avoided during Pregnancy:
-----------------------------------------------------

Oral medicines can seriously affect the cognitive, neurological
and physical growth of the fetus.

Pregnant women and those considering pregnancy, should NOT
to take the following medicines:
× Oral isotetrinion
× Tetracycline
× Topical Retinoids
One exception, but only if prescribed by your Doctor, is oral
erythromycin for severe acne during pregnancy.
