Did anyone elses skin go completely downhill with pregnancy? I used to have fairly good skin before I got pregnant. Maybe one pimple here and there but not anything too severe. Shortly after I got pregnant I started to break out big time. The best I can describe it is like acne! I never had a problem with acne before in my life. The worst part is that I've tried to put stuff on it to clear it up but my skin also became sensitive to everything! If I used anything on it, even most soaps, I broke out into a terrible rash. After I had DS things seemed to be going back to normal but just in the last couple of weeks it all seems to be coming back. I started to break out so I used the Neutrogena Acne wash and today I'm a big rash again. It's so itchy I'm having to struggle not to scratch. Did anyone else develop acne and sensitivites and if so, what did you use to get rid of it? Most of all, does it go away?

That stinks. I have terrible skin - been that way since puberty. When I was pregnant my skin was perfect. Not one pimple. Now I am back to normal- pimples around my period and sensitive skin. I use Cetaphil soap on my face. Very gentle and moisturizing. Maybe see a dermatologist for some more gentle pimple creams. They have some good ones. The over the counter ones are pretty harsh.
