My neck has gone really dark in the last 2 months and honestly it looks dirty even after scrubbing. Im in 2nd tri. Did this happen to anyone here and did it go away after delivery? feeling a bit conscious about it.
The dark neck is mostly hormonal pigmentation in pregnancy and it faded for me after delivery. Gentle cleaning and moisturising was all I did, nothing harsh. I avoided strong creams and just let it be, it's temporary.
It's a common pregnancy pigmentation thing and usually settles after. Please avoid bleaching or strong skin products now, many arent advised in pregnancy. If you want a cream, ask your doctor or a dermat for a safe option.
Mine darkened too and I just left it alone, it faded slowly after baby came :) Totally normal pregnancy glow side effect. Be gentle with the skin and dont stress about it.
