Does anyone, by chance, still have one? I developed on in the third trimester and it's still here. It's actually more apparent than it was before. I'm trying to get rid of it by applying a creme with ascorbic acid in it, but I'm kind of giving up hope.
I didn't get it from this pregnancy, but it I got it as a side effect of birth control pills a few years ago. It took a LONG time to go away (over a year), even after I changed birth control. I had to use sunscreen and wear a hat ALL the time so that it wouldn't get worse, and eventually those dart skin cells turned over.
There is a prescription lightening cream they can give you for this, but it wasn't covered by my insurance at the time and I decided to try the hat/sunscreen approach rather than pay the $70. Mine wasn't super bad.
