Is pregnancy causing my back acne, if so what can i do about it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Definitely women can notice more breakouts during pregnancy secondary to changes in hormones. You can use topical agents like soaps containing benzoyl peroxide. Most over the counter topicals are going to be fine. Just be sure to avoid anything containing retin-a, as that can cause problems for developing fetus.
