raeanna74, there is a strange spike in acne in the late 20's and early 30's then goes away again. Probably related to a hormone surge of some kind. Of course being pregnant always makes acne worse.
Simple things to do are first, clean the affected areas like you said with a mild soap. Try not to irritate the area (i.e. no scrubbing hard or washing 20 times a day). Use over the counter preparations like El Pollo mentioned (all very good).
If it gets worse, especially when they look like hives, consult your family physician. You might have mis-diagnosed yourself and have another dermatoligic condition.
If it is acne, an antibiotic cream/pill helps alot.
Acne on the chest and back is the same as on the face, but a bit less socially stigmatizing. Hope it clears up.
