How long does pregnancy acne last?
The longevity of pregnancy acne differs amongst individuals; unfortunately, acne does not have a general clear timeline of beginning to end. Many women observed that their acne breakout lasted through the first and second trimesters and resolved during the third trimester. However, some women experience acne through the entire pregnancy and see significant improvement postpartum. Some women have experienced persistent acne even after giving birth and while breastfeeding. The duration of acne may be attributed to hormonal changes while pregnant and breastfeeding.
When does pregnancy acne go away?
Experiences with acne varies amongst individuals and its longevity differs. For many, breakouts begin around week 6 and can persist throughout the first trimester. Breakouts may subside throughout the second trimester but can return during the third trimester, due to changes in the hormones. During early pregnancy, high levels of the hormones progesterone, are produced. Increased progesterone levels stimulate the oil production, clog your pores, and lead to increased acne.
In addition, an increase in another type of hormone, androgens, causes the sebaceous glands to increase and produce more sebum, which leads to an increase in inflammation, bacteria, and acne breakouts. While some women find that acne goes away postpartum, when hormone levels go back to normal, some find that their acne persists after the birth of their child due to the hormonal changes that occur after giving birth. In these cases, Dr. Green will create an acne treatment plan to stop these acne breakouts and a skincare routine to help maintain clear skin that is safe while breastfeeding.
