Sorry this might be showing too much but I’m almost 17 weeks pregnant and I’ve been noticing this discoloration under my breast area kind of going down the middle of my stomach. Has anyone ever experienced this? Or know someone who has? Please explain😩

Question

Answer

I believe it is called the "mask of pregnancy" or Melasma. Its skin discoloration during pregnancy and goes away after delivery 😊

Answer

Try dry brushing and exfoliating with sugar, honey, lemon and a bit of baking soda . Also maybe try wearing breathable bras/ bandeaus they are more comfortable anyways.

Answer

Hey hun! I have a little boy and when I was pregnant I had the saaaame thing. It’s called something actually and completely normal. Mine went in a strait line all the way down my tummy and circled around my belly button. Yours being under your breasts is a bit different, you could always ask your Gyno about that. But once you give birth the stuff literally falls away. ❤️ Hope this helps!

Answer

I have that in my armpits.
OB said discolouration and dark patches are normal during pregnancy.

Answer

Actually, I know what this is because I get it also on my chest and back (pregnant or not). It's a skin fungus from moisture. Not contagious. You should apply Nizoral cream minimum twice a day, and in about 5 days it will start to disappear. My father and brother also gets it.

Answer

Yes this is normal. It is good if you change up your soap and lotion. Try to use turmeric soap bar helps with your skin tone and body changes when your pregnant. Like rough or raw feeling in your hands and feet. Spots around your neck or close location on your body. Everybody skin tone is different. Check out this website I highly recommend because I use them.

Answer

I have this and am 32 weeks. It’s under my breasts, around my nipples, and even some patches on my neck. My doctor said it’s normal. I didn’t have this with my first.

Answer

I have the same thing now all over my back as well. One doctor said it was fungal which made sense. The other said it was my eczema and prescribed hydrocortisone cream. Trying that now to see if it gets better.

Answer

Answer

I had this when I was pregnant with my son. It will go slowly after having a baby ☺️
