skin discoloration

Im 36 weeks pregnant and Ive noticed that the skin in my armpits and groin area is getting darker and darker. Its really embarrising, i wont even wear tank tops anymore. What is this all about and how do i make it go away!!?! please help me!

Re: skin discoloration

  • I've read that this is totally normal. My armpit area where I shave has gotten VERY dark and I've tried everything you can think of--crazy exfoliation, shaving multiple times, moisturizing, changing deodorants.....and nothing helps. :( All I have accomplished is giving myself razor burn LOL.

    I've decided to just deal with it and not raise my arms in a tank top. :)

  • I have a really dark line on my belly that goes nearly to my sternum.  My nipples darkened considerably, and the skin around them has as well.  My underarms darkened, and now I've gotten darker areas on my shoulders and up into my neck.  It makes me look like I haven't washed or that I have a really odd tan.  I thought I'd end up with my face darkening, but it hasn't yet.

    I have skin discoloration spot on my neck, weird I know. But my brother looked at me and says "Is that a hicky on your neck". First of all my father was standing right there (still weirds me out after almost 2 years of marriage and 9 months pregnant), second of all my husband hardly comes near me anymore let alone touches me...so no I don't have a hicky on my neck.

  • I just noticed it around my nipples this morning. I was going to post something about it this afternoon. Glad I am not alone :)
