Introduction
The term "belly" refers to the abdominal area. Developing pimples on the abdomen at 17 weeks of pregnancy may result from physiological factors, or pathological causes such as hormonal imbalance or allergic dermatitis. Treatment may involve general management and medication. If frequent late-night habits or consumption of hormone-containing foods lead to acne on the abdomen during pregnancy, medications such as Zhenyuan tablets or methylprednisolone tablets may be used for treatment.
The abdomen refers to the abdominal area. Developing pimples on the abdomen at 17 weeks of pregnancy may result from physiological factors, or pathological causes such as hormonal imbalance or allergic dermatitis. Treatment may involve general care or medication, depending on the specific situation. Details are as follows:
1. Physiological Factors
If the abdominal skin does not receive proper care during pregnancy, sebaceous glands in the hair follicles may become blocked, preventing normal sebum excretion and leading to acne. It is important to maintain skin cleanliness and avoid using excessively oily skincare products.
2. Pathological Factors
1) Hormonal Imbalance
Frequent late nights or consumption of foods containing hormones may disrupt normal hormone secretion, resulting in pimple development on the abdomen during pregnancy. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as Shen-Yuan tablets or Methylprednisolone tablets may be used for treatment.
2) Allergic Dermatitis
This is usually caused by accidental contact with allergens on the abdomen, such as dust or mites, leading to symptoms like red rashes and pain. Under medical supervision, medications such as Ebastine tablets or Calamine lotion can be used for treatment.
In addition to the above causes, pimple-like eruptions may also be due to contact dermatitis, urticaria, or eczema. It is recommended to wear loose, comfortable clothing and change and wash clothes regularly.
