Hello, Pigmentation is very common in pregnancy due to hormones. Just use sunscreen as of now most of it reverts after delivery.

Hello mam. Glad to answer your query. During the pregnancy there is a whole lot of hormonal fluctuations going on in the body. This is usually the cause for pigmentation. Insulin is one such hormone whose decreased sensitivity causes the Hyper pigmentation. But don't worry, these are self limiting as they will revert back after the delivery. At least most of them. While at it you can use few safe moisturizers till then. Post delivery, on docs prescription you can apply few skin lightening agents if the color persists.
