pre-pregnancy i used differen and was told that it was too strong so i was given oxistat and erythromicin (sp). Oxistat is a great moisturizer and i use it in the mornings, erythromicin is for nighttime use and it has a strong alcohol smell and makes your skin peel. its not really irritating or uncomfortable since it is for nighttime use but i would tell you to be careful since you are pregnant and you may develop new sensitivities. I would also highly recommend visiting your dermatologist to find what other meds may be good for you.

Regardless of what recommendations you get online, I strongly suggest that you check with a doctor/dermatologist before you start with anything. The last thing you want to do is risk your baby's health, or to cause your skin damage because of pregnancy related changes. Although I don't know of anything myself, I wish you luck and congrats on your pregnancy.

Maybe you could try using a green clay mask as a spot treatment at night? It works fine for me but I agree you should check with your doctor before doing anything first.

Ask your OBGYN. You might just want to stick with drugstore topical stuff until the baby is born. Pretty much the only thing I was allowed to take when I was pregnant was Tylenol. If you are not allowed to take anything at least you know it is not forever.
