I just found out I was pregnant and have a huge cyst. I am trying to find out what if anything is safe to use to try and shrink it and help my skin during pregnancy? I asked my dermantologist and she says she is overconservative and doesn't recommend anything. I know there has to be something I can use to help that won't cause birth defects, at least I hope so. I am so frustrated because my skin was looking great until I get pregnant and now I have this cyst. I have been using the carley's skin stuff for acne but it doesn't seem to be working. Thanks for any thoughts.
First of all - CONGRATULATIONS!!! When I was pregnant with my daughter, the first month was a bad skin month for me - painful cysts. My derm told me to wash with aqua glycolic cleanser to exfoliate the skin to keep it clearer and to put on a dab of hydrocortisone cream on any of the painful cysts to help reduce the inflammation. This did work for me, but please pass anything by your doctor first. Good luck.
