My underarms have gone really dark since i got pregnant, didnt expect this at all. Im 6 months now and it feels a bit embarrassing in sleeveless. Will it go away after delivery or is there something gentle i can do meanwhile?
I gently used a little besan and curd paste sometimes, kept the area clean and moisturised. Nothing harsh though, skin gets sensitive in pregnancy. Avoid strong bleaching creams and if anything itches or looks unusual, show your doctor.
I felt so conscious about this, my armpits and neck got darker and I didn't expect it. My gynac told me it's the pregnancy hormones and it usually fades after delivery. Knowing it was normal made me feel a lot better about it.
Yaar this is so common, actually it's just the hormones. I didn't use any fancy product, just kept moisturising and wore soft cotton. It lightened up by itself after baby came, so chill.
It's pigmentation from hormones, very normal in pregnancy. I avoided random creams because the skin is delicate now. If you really want to treat it, ask your gynac or a dermatologist for something pregnancy safe rather than trying products on your own.
Looking back, I stressed so much over the darkening but it really did fade on its own after a few months postpartum. Don't waste this time worrying about it. It's just hormones doing their thing, it passes.
