Genetic Hyperpigmentation in baby

2021-08-24 06:16:18
I'm 15 weeks pregnant. I have developed a problem of hyperpigmentation when I was 7 years old. I have some brown pigmented spots mostly on right side of my body. Now I'm worried that my baby can also get this. I could never ask this to my gynaecologist as I was not comfortable asking this in front of my MIL. What can I do or any medications I should take so that my baby doesn't get this condition? Please help.

If it is genetic then nothing  can be done. You should consult a skin specialist in person for diagnosis  of your skin condition. When we come to know the diagnosis then only some suggestion may be given.

Since your pigmentation is not by birth there is less possibilities.. But there should be some diagnosis related to ur pigmentation. We have to confirm that first. U can consult on my practo profile
