A : It is true that most medications for androgenic skin and hair disorders (acne, increased facial and body hair and scalp hair loss) should not be taken during pregnancy.
Testosterone helps bones and sex drive but it is also the cause of female acne, increased facial and body hair and most female hair loss.
Controlling acne and body odor may be a concern.

Like acne and alopecia, increased facial and body hair is caused by testosterone.

Our bodies get rid of toxins in the easiest way possible, people with acne often have sluggish digestive systems and inefficient liver and/or kidneys and so the body gets rid of toxins through the skin.
This is done externally with good acne skin products and internally by balancing the body, ridding it of toxins and purifying the kidneys, liver and colon.
Acne is a multifactorial disease requiring adherence to a strict diet with supplementation to assist the body in eliminating toxins which may contribute to this condition.

Because acne is not a disease but a condition that exists in sebaceous glands, it is possible for it to occur anywhere on the body surface that has sebaceous glands.
Visit the Neutrogena acne products page for a body lotion that helps you get clear skin from head to toe.
The attempt by the body to remove excess levels of unwanted chemicals through the skin can cause acne and will aggravate eczema.
