I'm 4 months in and noticing thoda dark patches coming on my cheeks and forehead. My friend said ye chloasma hota hai in pregnancy. Just curious from which month it usually starts for u all?
Beta, yeh toh aam baat hai pregnancy mein, hormons ke wajah se chehre pe thode daag aa jaate hain. Log kehte hain doosre ya teesre trimester mein shuru hote hain. Dhoop se bach ke rehna aur thanda paani se muh dhona. Mere ghar pe log besan ka ubtan bhi lagaate hain, par kuch bhi naya lagane se pehle doctor se pooch lena ek baar.
Dear, skin changes like chloasma are very common in pregnancy due to hormonal fluctuations. They can appear any time, mostly from the second trimester onwards. But for any new or concerning skin changes, it's always safest to check with your gynac, just to be absolutely sure. They can confirm it for you.
Chloasma is quite common, dear, many women experience it. It can appear anytime from your second trimester, and for some, even earlier. I had PCOS before, so my hormones were always a bit tricky. While it's usually normal, if you're worried or if it's very prominent, maybe just quickly mention it to your doctor during your next visit. Better to be safe, right?
Oh my god, I was just noticing some dark patches on my face, especially near my upper lip and forehead. I'm in my second trimester, around 20 weeks. Is this what chloasma is? Did anyone else experience this around this time? It's making me a little self-conscious.
At my hospital, they informed me that these 'mask of pregnancy' type patches can start showing up typically in the second or third trimester. I actually asked my doctor about it during one of my appointments. It's really important to keep your skin protected with good SPF and talk to your doctor clearly if you have any concerns.
