Acne on the back after pregnancy

During pregnancy, a woman's body metabolism is affected by hormones, which can cause many changes in the body. It is very common to have acne on the back after pregnancy, especially in the late pregnancy. Some women have itchy backs, which results in acne on the back, but they didn't have much acne on their bodies before. Sometimes the location of the acne is quite special, and the acne is quite large. Usually, pregnant women think that this is caused by fetal toxins.

Is acne on the back after pregnancy caused by fetal toxins?

If you get acne on your back after pregnancy, it means that your endocrine system is out of balance. Fetal toxins generally have an impact on the baby's body. Fetal toxins do not cause abnormalities in the mother herself. Therefore, acne on the mother’s back is not caused by fetal toxins. Check whether you have eaten any spicy food recently or have a regular schedule. If you have an irregular work and rest schedule, it will also cause acne, so mothers need to adjust their work and rest habits.

Acne on the back indicates endocrine disorder, and mothers can solve the problem by adjusting their diet. In fact, adjusting your diet is very simple. It mainly involves eating easily digestible foods and trying to eat more light meals. Especially in the summer when the temperature is high, try to drink more white rice porridge and eat less chili peppers, and you will feel slightly better. When you have acne, never squeeze it with your hands to avoid skin infection.

What foods can expel fetal toxins?

If a pregnant woman eats a lot of greasy food, takes too many health supplements, or eats too much spicy food during pregnancy, it will increase the heat in the body and may be passed on to the fetus. Fetal toxins can cause the baby to have jaundice, eczema, constipation, etc. To remove fetal toxins, mothers should pay attention to a balanced diet during pregnancy, eat less spicy and greasy food; maintain adequate sleep and good metabolism, and do not take "fetal toxin removal" drugs indiscriminately.

Methods of removing fetal toxins

1. Pay attention to a reasonable diet during pregnancy, eat more foods that nourish yin and moisten dryness, promote body fluid and nourish the lungs, and seasonal fruits, and eat less spicy, fried, and greasy foods. Especially in the late pregnancy, which is the period when the fetus develops fastest, it is recommended to eat more vegetables, drink more water, and keep bowel movements smooth in the late pregnancy.

2. If the mother has an allergic constitution, it is recommended to go to the Allergy Department (Skin Allergy Department) of a large hospital for a detailed screening of allergens or listen to experts for some advice to prevent the baby from obtaining such allergens from breast milk.

3. Pay attention to your life routine, combine work and rest, and get adequate rest to ensure the balance of the body and improve immunity.

4. Avoid taking medicine indiscriminately to "clear fetal toxins". Some folk remedies for clearing fetal toxins, tortoise jelly or herbal tea contain ingredients that are not suitable for pregnant mothers to drink, and taking them blindly may cause hidden dangers.

5. Ensure adequate sleep and good metabolism.
