My underarms and neck have gone really dark since i got pregnant, never had this before. Bit conscious about it honestly. Does this fade away on its own after delivery or stays? anyone experienced same?
Yes, they do fade! It took about 4-5 months after my delivery for my skin color to return to normal. Avoid scrubbing too hard, just let your hormones settle down naturally.
I felt so conscious wearing sleeveless tops because of how dark they got. But my mom told me it's just hormones, and yes, they really did go back to normal after a few months. Have patience with your body.
Haan na, black armpits dekh ke bahut gussa aata hai. But don't worry, delivery ke baad hormones normal hote hi ye pigmentation dheere dheere chala jata hai. Just keep skin clean and moisturized.
Honestly, they go away but it takes some time, so don't waste hours on DIY home remedies. I barely had time with work and baby, and they just faded naturally by the 6th month. Just focus on rest.
I asked the hospital dermatologist during my discharge about this pigmentation. They assured me it's just pregnancy-induced melasma and goes away on its own post-delivery. Don't use harsh chemical creams without asking them first.
