Acne Treatment for Lactating Mom?

Since I was a teenager my skin has been prone to breakouts. I've used a million treatments, with varying success.

Has anyone had success with an acne treatment (natural or otherwise) that is safe to use while breastfeeding?

I would really love to hear all...

I have mentioned this to my ob at both my appointments, and he dismisses it. Recently, it has spread to my hands. The itching is so bad at night, that I have trouble sleeping. I called the ob office and the nurse told me to take Benadryl so I could sleep and to see a dermatologist. Well, I must be the only person that does not get sleepy from Benadryl. And as far as seeing a dermatologist, I am in...
