Which acne treatments are safe to use during pregnancy?

If you are looking for how to treat acne while pregnant, the first step is consulting with an expert, board-certified dermatologist, such as Dr. Michele Green. Dr. Green is experienced in prescribing acne treatments that work well to clear acne that are also safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding. Additionally, while some products are safe in small amounts, they may become hazardous to your baby when used in larger doses or for an extended amount of time. This is another reason why it is so important to consult with Dr. Green before using any acne treatment products. Dr. Green may also work in conjunction with your OB-GYN doctor to create the safest acne treatment plan for you.

Topical treatments

Azelaic Acid – Azelaic acid is an ingredient found in topical acne treatments, which works as an anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial. In research trials, it was found that azelaic acid did not cause any birth defects in animals. The azelaic acid in products such as Finacea works by promoting the growth of new skin cells and targeting the bacteria that infect the hair follicles. It can reduce the symptoms of current breakouts and help to prevent future acne outbreaks.

Benzoyl peroxide – One of the most common ingredients in topical acne treatments, benzoyl peroxide is said by experts to be safe to prescribe in small amounts. If you are using products containing benzoyl peroxide, it is very important to follow Dr. Green’s recommended dosage so you do not exceed the amount that is safe to use. Benzoyl peroxide works by eliminating the bacteria that is found in papsules and pustules and by drying out the skin to reduce the amount of sebum present. You would find benzoyl peroxide in products such as Perea-Gel, Brevoxy, and Benzoic, however, be sure to consult with Dr. Green before using any of these products on your own.

Topical Antibiotics – The two most commonly prescribed topical antibiotics that are safe to use during pregnancy are clindamycin and erythromycin. These spot treatments are best to treat inflammatory acne for a short period of time during pregnancy as there have been no studies documenting the effects of long term use. These topical antibiotics work by targeting the bacteria that cause infection in the clogged pores.

Salicylic Acid – Salicylic acid is another ingredient commonly found in over-the-counter topical acne medications. Researchers believe that salicylic acid is safe to use during pregnancy for a short duration in a localized treatment area. Salicylic acid is an oil-soluble ingredient, which works by exfoliating the skin to unblock the pores. The ingredient works well to target non-inflammatory acne such as whiteheads and blackheads, as well as inflammatory acne such as pustules because it also works as an anti-inflammatory.
