Around my neck and cheeks the skin is getting darker since few weeks, im in 2nd trimester. My mom says it happens to everyone but i still want to manage it na. Anyone found something that actually helped?
Sunscreen was the biggest help for me, the pigmentation is worsened by sun. I also kept skin moisturised and avoided harsh products. The dark patches mostly faded after delivery for me, so dont stress.
Its called melasma and its super common in pregnancy, hormones cause it. Daily sunscreen and a hat when out, thats the real fix. Avoid strong lightening creams now, just check with derm or gynac before using anything.
