“…5 Younger pregnant age <25 years was associated with higher numbers of inflammatory acne, while primigravida and multigravida did not influence acne during pregnancy. 5 In contrast, our prospective study of women at age ≥25 years found high numbers of facial acne in primigravida in the second and third trimester.
