When does pregnancy acne start?
PregnancyAnswer
During the first trimester, surging hormone levels, especially androgens, can lead to increased oil production in your skin. This can clog pores and cause breakouts, much like teenage acne. While it's common in the first three months, some women might experience it later in pregnancy, while others might not have any acne at all.
The good news is that pregnancy-related acne is usually temporary and tends to clear up after your baby arrives. If it bothers you, chat with your doctor or a dermatologist about safe skincare options.
