Im in my 5th month and suddenly my neck has gone thoda dark, like a brownish patch. Never had this before pregnancy. Is this normal yaar or should i show my gynac? anyone else got this?
This is called hyperpigmentation or acanthosis nigricans, which I read about on my pregnancy tracker app. It's super common due to high estrogen levels. No need to buy expensive creams, just use a mild moisturizer.
Meri skin bhi neck pe bohot dark ho gayi thi and I was so worried. But believe me, after my normal delivery, it started fading on its own within a few months. Keep your skin hydrated and stay positive, it's just a phase.
Haha, welcome to the 'dark neck club'! My neck looked like I hadn't taken a bath in years during my third trimester. It is just our hormones playing games, so don't scrub too hard or you will just get rashes!
I noticed this during my checkup at Fortis and asked my dermatologist there. They told me not to use any harsh chemical peeling agents right now. Just discuss it during your next regular gynac visit to be safe.
My baby keeps me awake all night and honestly I don't even have time to look in the mirror now! But yes, my neck was pitch black during pregnancy. Now it's mostly gone, so don't worry, you have bigger sleepless adventures ahead, haha.
Omg same here! I am in my 24th week and my neck looks so dark suddenly, I was getting so conscious about it. Are you guys using any safe home remedies like besan pack, or should we just leave it alone?
I also got this dark neck line around my 6th month, along with crazy cravings for sweet lassi! My mom said it is just hormonal changes and completely normal. I just ignore it and focus on my snacks, it goes away post-delivery anyway.
It is a very common hormonal change, so please don't let it stress you out. When you've had a tough journey to get here, these small skin changes can feel overwhelming, but they are completely harmless for the baby. Take care of yourself.
Dekho, this is purely hormonal and almost every second pregnant woman gets it. Don't waste your money on fancy whitening creams right now as they aren't safe. Just wash with normal water and apply a little coconut oil.
I just delivered my baby boy last month and honestly my neck is already getting back to normal. During pregnancy, it looked so dark and patchy. Trust me, your skin will heal on its own very soon.
