Acne During Pregnancy What, Why And How?

How Acne reacts during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, acne can react in various ways, though in most cases, the effect of estrogen hormones released during pregnancy, produce a positive effect. They can lessen the acne activity, reducing the amount and severity of acne flare-ups.
If however, pregnancy results in a flare up, attention and active therapy can be sought eliminating the threat of scarring. In few cases, there is a flare-up of acne requiring active therapy, especially if scarring is a threat. Sometimes acne first appears during pregnancy even when the person has never suffered in the past. There are also reports of first time pregnancies becoming acne sufferers only during the pregnancy, with their skin returning to normal once the child has been born.
