Since I found out im pregnant my skin has changed so much, getting these dark pimples on my chin and forehead that I never had before. Is it just the hormones doing this? bit annoyed honestly but more curious why it happens.
My doctor said pregnancy hormones increase pigmentation and oil, so pimples and dark marks are normal. She told me to avoid strong acne creams and just use mild products and sunscreen. Most of it settles after delivery.
I felt so low about my skin breaking out and getting dark patches when I conceived. Nobody warns you about this part. But honestly after delivery a lot of it faded back, so try not to feel bad.
It's the hormones yaar, they cause pimples and dark spots for a lot of us in pregnancy. The skin changes are super common, mine got patchy too. Keep it simple, gentle cleanser and dont try harsh creams now.
