Acne

Acne during pregnancy is a common skin concern that can occur due to hormonal changes. Pregnancy hormones, especially an increase in androgen levels, can stimulate the sebaceous glands, leading to an overproduction of oil and an increased likelihood of developing acne.

Considerations:

• Individual Variation: The severity of pregnancy-related acne varies among individuals. Some may experience mild breakouts, while others may have more significant skin changes.
• Postpartum Changes: In many cases, acne tends to improve after the first trimester or after giving birth as hormone levels stabilize.
• Self-Care Practices: Adopting good self-care practices, including stress reduction and a healthy lifestyle, can contribute to overall skin health.
