Just what can be done for pregnancy-related acne?

My skin's turning into a mess, and most of the prescription acne remedies are not pregnancy-safe.

I do eat well, drink lots of water, etc -- not helping. I'd rather not spend the next months indoors, or outdoors looking dreadful.

What's useful? Are cosmetic laser treatments on the face ever performed during pregnancy? Do dermatologists have anything up their sleeves? What OTC remedies are pregnancy-safe and effective for cystic acne, blackheads, etc?

What is the most effective treatment (with the least amount of side affects)for minimizing acne?

I have been treated by a dermatologist for over 8 years and have been on about every drug available. I went on accutane in high school which seemed to clear up my acne. About 2 years later I moved to Chile for 18 months and was fine; however, when I moved back to the states I broke out again. I get them on my chest, arms, neck, scalp, ears, and face. I eat healthy, drink lots of water and exercise regularly, but nothing seems to help. Hopefully you can help me.?!
