What causes acne on the chest and back during pregnancy?

During the first few months of pregnancy, the pregnant woman's physical condition will change a lot. She will be easily fatigued, and due to endocrine changes, she will have acne and spots on her face. Many pregnant women will also have acne on their chest and back. The location of the acne will vary depending on the pregnant woman's condition. This article introduces the specific reasons why pregnant women get acne on the chest and back. Let’s take a look.

Pregnancy is both a hard and happy thing for pregnant women. At this time, a large number of problems may occur in the body, and the mood of pregnant women will be affected during pregnancy. If symptoms that are adverse to the body appear, pregnant women will often worry and become particularly anxious. But why is it easy to get acne on the chest and back during pregnancy?

1. Hormone secretion. During pregnancy, the hormones of pregnant women will be unstable. They may increase or decrease, so the sebaceous glands will also be affected. Long-term stimulation will cause the skin to become oily, and oily skin is one of the biggest factors for acne.

Second, the skin is not clean enough . Some people do not pay much attention to cleaning their skin, which leads to blockage of sebaceous glands and causes symptoms of airtight skin. If the fatty acids in the skin and the bacteria in the hair follicles react at this time, many pimples will grow, which will then cause symptoms of itchy skin. Therefore, daily cleaning must be done properly, but soap cannot be used to clean the skin, as this may cause skin allergies.

3. Gastrointestinal condition . Some people suffer from long-term constipation or difficulty in defecation, which can easily affect the absorption and digestion ability of the stomach and intestines. If the blockage continues, it will lead to abnormal secretion, rough pores, and even acne. Negative emotions are also an important factor in causing acne. Many people have very weak ability to control their emotions and are easily affected by other factors. Therefore, long-term instability may cause changes in hormone secretion in the body. At this time, the sebaceous glands in the body will have secretion disorders and abnormalities, thus inducing acne.

If pregnant women develop acne on their chest and back during pregnancy, they should consider these factors as the cause. After developing acne, never squeeze it with your hands, otherwise it may make the acne worse. During this period, you can use some Chinese herbal ointments or Chinese herbal decoctions to clean the skin. You can also add salt to the water to clean the skin, which can kill the bacteria on the skin.
