My underarms have gone really dark in the last month or so and now im conscious about wearing sleeveless. Im in my second tri. Is this a pregnancy hormone thing? will it go away after delivery?
Looking back, all that darkening I worried about faded on its own within months of having my baby. At the time it bothered me but now its barely there. Dont stress over it.
I used a bit of malai and turmeric gently which felt soothing, nothing harsh. Its mostly hormonal so it fades later anyway. If it suddenly looks very different though, mention it to your doc.
I felt so conscious about my dark underarms and neck during pregnancy. But honestly it lightened a lot after delivery. Its just hormones doing their thing yaar.
Its the pregnancy hormones causing extra pigmentation, very common in underarms, neck and tummy line. It usually fades after delivery. Dont waste money on harsh creams, just keep the area clean and moisturized.
