My face and neck have gone so dark especially around the cheeks and upper lip in this pregnancy. i'm in my 7th month. will this fade on its own after delivery or stays? a little upset honestly, pls share your experience.
Beta this happens to so many of us, my pigmentation also came with both children. Some apply a little malai or aloe gently, nothing harsh. But mostly time heals it na, dont rub strong things on your face.
My amma told me not to worry, that the glow returns slowly after baby. And she was right, it faded over months. I just kept things simple and asked my doctor before trying any cream.
Mine faded a lot in a few months postpartum. The line on my tummy took longest but even that lightened. It does get better, just be patient with your skin.
It usually lightens after the hormones settle down post delivery. For some it takes longer and sun makes it worse, so I used a gentle sunscreen. If it really bothers you later, a derm or your gynac can guide you on what is safe.
My app called it melasma and said it fades for most women after birth. I avoided direct sun and stuck to mild products only. It did clear up for me, just slowly so dont panic if it lingers.
Yaar dont stress too much about it, this is so normal in pregnancy. Mine took maybe 4-5 months to really go after delivery. You will get your old skin back, promise.
I felt so low when those dark patches came on my cheeks and neck. I thought it was permanent and cried a little honestly. But slowly after delivery it started fading on its own, give it time.
