My face and neck have gotten so much darker patches since i got pregnant, didnt expect this at all. Im in my 5th month now. Is this a pregnancy thing and will it go away after delivery? Anyone else facing same?
Haanji, bilkul ho sakti hai. Hormones ki wajah se chehre par ya gale par dark patches aa jaate hain. Isko "mask of pregnancy" bhi bolte hain. Bahut common hai, don't worry too much. Dheere dheere delivery ke baad theek ho jaata hai.
Yes, it's a very common pregnancy side effect called melasma or chloasma, due to hormonal changes. It affects skin pigmentation. While managing gestational diabetes, I was also careful about sun exposure, as that can worsen the spots. Always use sunscreen.
I'm in my second trimester, and yes, I'm noticing some darker patches, especially on my cheeks and around my mouth! It makes me a little self-conscious. Is this what they call "mask of pregnancy"? Did anyone else experience this so early?
Oh my god, yes! I got so much hyperpigmentation, especially on my face (melasma, they call it the mask of pregnancy). I kept thinking something was wrong. It's super common though, completely normal due to hormones. Mine faded a lot after delivery.
Absolutely, hyperpigmentation is a common symptom because of hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy. I had thyroid issues during my pregnancy, so my hormone levels were even more monitored. It's important to keep up with your doctor's appointments and mention any new symptoms.
