Don’t be overly concerned if you’re experiencing pregnancy acne as this is normal and the cause is the increase in your hormones. You may be feeling anxious to stop these outbreaks, which are normal, but it’s absolutely critical to consult a professional before you use any type of chemical treatment for pregnancy acne, even if you have a previous prescription medicine from your dermatologist or family practioner.

Even though certain drugs such as “Retin A” can solve your pregnancy acne problems, taking them can have harmful side effects for pregnant women.

There are however some pregnancy acne treatments that you can use during your pregnancy that are perfectly safe. You may be able to find some of these pregnancy acne treatments at your local drugstore, however, be cautious and patient when making your choices, always read the labels.

A relatively well-known topical treatment for pregnancy acne, which is safe for pregnant women, is benzoyl peroxide, which comes in a lotion or a gel. This treatment is available without a doctor’s prescription.

Provided you use it in small amounts benzoyl peroxide is perfectly safe and will kill the bacteria that cause pregnancy acne, unclog pores, and heal pimples. Before you use any product while you’re pregnant, including this one, double-check the products you’ve selected to be absolutely certain it does not contain any other chemicals that may be harmful to you or your baby.

Just to be on the safe side, you should ask your family physician, which benzoyl peroxide treatment they approve and use this particular one during your pregnancy acne. This way you can rest assured you’ve made the safest choice for you and your baby.

If you are having a hard time finding a product that is completely safe for pregnancy acne, you may want to wait until after you deliver your baby to remedy your pregnancy acne problem. After all, your baby should be your first and foremost concern and your complexion less important.

You’re most likely going to want to re-evaluate your acne situation after your baby has arrived. Some women will find pregnancy acne would go away after they give birth, while others will find the pregnancy acne will last for years if they don’t treat it. If you find yourself with persistent acne after you deliver your baby it’s always best to consult with a dermatologist who will be able to give you the best solution for your individual needs.

Well, anyway, that’s my best guess as to what’s going on here. I suppose I could have asked, but I’m not sure I would have gotten a friendly reception…

When you say “New York City,” most people think of Times Square, or the Empire State Building, or the crowded sidewalks and the skyscrapers in mid-town, or Wall Street, or the ill-fated World Trade Center. Maybe Central Park will come to mind, but most people don’t realize that New Yorkers know lots of places to relax, and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air …

… like Carl Schurz Park, over by the East River on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, stretching from 90th Street down to about 84th Street. In addition to flower gardens, dog runs, basketball courts, playgrounds, and grassy knolls for sunbathing, there is also a wide promenade where cyclists, roller-skaters, dog-walkers, lovers, joggers, parents, children, and any of the other millions of citizens of this city can stroll along at whatever pace suits them best. Some sit at benches along the edge of the river, staring at the roiling water caused by the swift current down the East River; others nod and smile as they watch sailboats, motorboats, yachts, barges, tour-boats, and barges ply their way up and down the river.

One thing’s for certain, though: everyone enjoys Carl Schurz Park. It’s one of New York’s little secrets …
