Hello.
Are you still
pregnant ? Or you are post partum ?
Hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause change in sign pigmentation and texture
This Skin hyperpigmentation is a common occurrence during pregnancy, affecting up to 90% of pregnant women. The hormonal changes increase the production of melanin, the pigment that gives color to the skin. The most common areas affected by hyperpigmentation during pregnancy are the face, neck, and arms.
No creams to be used in pregnancy
Even during postpartum and lactation please use only what your dermatologist advises
Usually this change fades away with time
There are treatments under medical supervision only since not all of them are safe in pregnancy
Topical treatments such as hydroquinone, azelaic acid, and kojic acid
Other options are
Laser therapy
Chemical peels
Protect your skin from sun
Use sunscreen
Cover face
Use broad hat etc
Cover arms when in sun
Do not Stress
Visit a dermatologist locally or book a teleconsult here and I will be more than glad to assist and guide as a medical professional.
This is not a medical consultation and it’s for awareness only.
Regards
Dr H S Chauhan
