White patches on areola
Hello. I'm 27 weeks pregnant. From starting of my second trimester, I noticed whitish patches under both my breast covering some part of the areola. There is no itching. I'm really worried tat it could it be vitiligo? I don't have any other white patches anywhere else. Only under both breast covering some portion of areola for past 3 months.
