My skin has gotten so much darker since i got pregnant, especially around my neck and the dark line on my belly. Im in my 6th month. It bothers me a little, anything that helped u manage this? curious what others did.
Dont worry too much about it dear, its very common and temporary. The pigmentation usually lightens by itself after the baby comes. Be gentle with your skin and patient with yourself.
Please avoid strong fairness or lightening creams in pregnancy, many have ingredients not safe now. Gentle skincare and sun protection is the safe route. Ask a dermatologist if it bothers you a lot.
That darkening is from pregnancy hormones, the famous melasma. You cant really stop it fully now, but sunscreen and avoiding harsh sun helps. It fades a lot after delivery, mine did both times.
