I've noticed some new spots on my skin and they look a bit like moles. Can being pregnant actually cause new moles to appear, or change existing ones? I'm a little concerned about these changes.
Oh, I totally understand how stressful it is when you suddenly see your skin changing so much. Yes, dear, the hormones can cause new small moles to pop up or make old ones darker. It's just a tiny part of the beautiful journey of growing your baby, so don't worry at all.
Look, yes, hormonal surges and skin stretching can definitely cause new moles or make existing ones look darker and larger. It's totally normal and nothing to panic about. But if any mole starts itching, bleeding, or growing very rapidly, then don't ignore it and get it checked by a doctor.
Haan yaar, actually pregnancy hormones do some crazy things to our skin! I got so many tiny skin tags and moles on my neck and underarms, it was so annoying. My gynac said it's just estrogen and progesterone acting up and completely normal, so don't worry.
Mere saath bhi same hua tha! My saas told me it happens because of 'garmi' in the body and gave me safe rose water to apply, but actually, these new small moles and skin tags are just pregnancy hormones. Don't worry, they mostly fade or shrink after delivery.
Honestly, I am in my 6th month and I just noticed two tiny new moles on my neck yesterday! I was so confused and thoda freaked out. Do they go away on their own after delivery, or do we have to get them removed?
Yes, it is very common due to hormonal changes, especially around the neck and chest. My mother told me to apply sandalwood paste to soothe the skin, but I still showed it to my doctor just to be 100% sure. She said it is completely normal and harmless.
