That happened to me. My skin was gorgeous during pregnancy. I didn’t have even one blackhead. Then…a couple months after giving birth, my forehead erupted in tiny little bumps - they looked like clogged pores. Awful. I used salicylic acid and spot treated with benzoyl peroxide (very little, bc I was breastfeeding). It went away after a couple weeks!

I had a crazy breakout/hives out of the blue when I was 7 weeks PP. It was so itchy and aggressive I ended up going to urgent care and having to get on steroid to help fight it off. I couldn’t breastfeed for a week but thankfully I had freezer stash to be able to provide to my baby

Yes all over my arms, :(

Yea… totally normal. I am one with blessed skin all my life and i got a lot of breakouts during pregnancy. It will pass!

Same here!! I never had a single bump since I was 16 years old. But right after my delivery my skin started breaking out, I still have it at 6 months pp, I heard it goes away once we stop breastfeeding.

My pre-law school job was in public relations and I chose litigation because I like to win, but I’m now realizing I like success more than the win-lose. Feeling lost… should I move to transactional?
