Skin changes...everywhere

in Pregnant after IF

OK so I know skin changes are normal during pregnancies, but I'm getting like skin tags everywhere, it's starting to annoy me. I also have new moles and freckles and whatnot. ugh.

Anyone else's skin going crazy?

    I used to be a nurse in dermatology and this is incredibly normal! Your body is full of "growth" hormones and it's normal to get skin tags and changes in moles. After your pregnancy you can always get them removed for cosmetic reasons.

    My face has been pretty good but I have just recently noticed new moles. I want to go to the dermatologist, get naked, and have everything removed :)

    A friend of mine had this as a pg symptom. They really bothered her (she had hundreds of them), but no one else really noticed them. As pp said, apparently they are a completely normal symptom. eta: I now have rosatia (spelling) on one side of my face & those dark pg marks on the other. Pretty, I know ;)

    No skin tags that have popped up out of nowhere, but I am convinced a mole on my abdomen has grown. Maybe it's really a 3rd nipple? 

    That very idea has me completely freaked out!

    i just discovered the first skin tag i've ever noticed on myself the other day! no new moles though.

    one thing i have noticed is lots of red spots under my skin. they are not raised, but they are like red freckles all over my chest and there are some on my face.

    they were worse when i was puking 3x/day, but have subsided a bit since i now only puke like 1x/week. my guess is they are broken capillaries from the vomiting...

    I'm a victim of the skin tags as well.  They are everywhere!!  On my neck, under my b00bs, around my arm pits.  I hate them!!  I will be so happy to have them all removed!
