Pregnancy is synonymous with hormonal imbalances. During this condition, the sebaceous glands become hyper active and release sebum in excess. This leads to clogged pores which in days to follow trigger the emergence of pimples, better known as zits. This form of acne is commonly found on the neck, face, back, shoulder and chest. The breakout of acne during pregnancy is also known as skin breakout. This severity of this skin disorder can however be brought to control by keeping the skin clean and well moisturized. It is advisable to wash the face at least thrice with a deep clean cleanser that removes the layer of oil and dirt from the inner layers of the skin. One needs to be careful and prevent a contact with the affected areas on the skin. Touching the pus filled acne and then rubbing the hands at other areas of the skin may prove disastrous as it would lead to the spread of this skin disorder causing germs. Stress during pregnancy is regarded as another culprit for the onset of this skin infection. Therefore, it is important to follow certain stress management practices so as to achieve mental equilibrium.  Regular exercise may also help you to get in control of yourself.
