Post miscarriage acne
I lost a baby a week ago. Since then I’ve been having the most horrendous and I mean covered head to toe giant painful acne breakouts where I’ve never had them before as well as bug bite type growths that continue to grow then fester. Any other moms deal with this?
I shower daily because of the brutal summer and sweating profusely. Any recommendations for cleansers or acne removal or prevention? Any advice would be greatly appreciated I’m desperate my skin hurts.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this!
I had a D&C a week ago for a MMC at 12 weeks and have noticed a huge hormonal shift.
I haven’t had any breakouts, but the hormone drop has been very noticeable and I’ve also experienced a milder version of the postpartum “baby blues”.
Plus, my milk tried to come in the morning after I was discharged, which was… fun 😭
I think it might be a mix of the heat and your hormones trying to level out.
I hope it gets better 🙏🏻
Here for the advice & tips. Same situation. I had a d&c last Thursday and now my whole body is covered in painful acne. Switched to a gentle cleanser and I went to my GP today who confirmed it's hormonal acne, (likely due to the miscarriage), she prescribed me a tablet antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections called Erythromycin. Can keep you posted on how it goes.
