backne

So one of the many joys that is accompanying my 10 months of pregnancy is Backne. I have never had perfect skin - but I have never in my life had issues like this. The occasional breakout around that "time of the month" or after too many nights of not washing my face. And during volleyball season in college, my back would breakout due to sweat and sportsbras...but this is OUT OF CONTROL!

This recent (and by recent I mean the last four months) breakout has blessed me with big goiter like pimples that seem to have their own pulse, small ones that I can feel but really don't do anything, and even the occasional multi spot breakout patch...they hurt, they look terrible, the feel gross and (if any of you know me) I have an issue with picking. And its really only on my back, shoulders and upper arms.

The worst thing is that there is really nothing I can do about it - my midwife has suggested that I use some sort of scrub (like apricot) which I have to pick up at the store to try it out or to find a way to exfoliate more often. I can also use tea-tree oil to help dry them out. All of which I have to make specific stops to pick up...I will give it a try and let you know what comes about.
