i noticed my neck has become quite dark these days and im 5 months pregnant. my skin around armpits also looks darker. is this a pregnancy thing or should i be worried about something else?
Yes mine did and I felt so conscious about it. Its the pregnancy hormones causing extra pigmentation, my doctor said its harmless. It faded a lot after delivery for me thankfully.
Looking back, my neck darkened a lot in pregnancy and I worried for nothing. It slowly went back to normal months after delivery. So dont stress over it, its temporary.
I gently rubbed besan and curd on it and kept the area clean, that helped a bit. Its just hormonal darkening, very common. But dont scrub hard, and if skin looks really velvety patchy do mention to doctor.
