Acne Skin Care

is it common to get skin acne in early stages of pregnancy?

i dont mean facial acne. i mean upper chest and back area. i very very rarely break out on my chest or back and im thinking i may be about 4 weeks pregnant right now (taking a test tomorrow). i was just wondering if this was a sign of pregnancy or if anyone experienced this?

  1. I have never had breakouts on my skin, not even at puberty. But when I was pregnant I had it on my chest and upper back so yes it can be caused by pregnancy hormones although this is not necessarily a pregnancy symptom.
  2. I don't think that it is a sign of pregnancy, but yes you do tend to get more acne. I got it all over the back of my arms REALLY bad with one of my pregnancies!
  3. yes, dont worry itll go away
  4. Yes I had a spotty back all the way through my pregnancy right from the early days, I hated it but luckily it goes after the birth.
