Pregnancy mask...

I have never had this issue with prior pregnancies. But this pregnancy "mask" has started to pop up on my face. It's a small brown splotch, and I wanted to know if anyone knows how to get rid of it. I am going to probably make a call to the dermatologist tomorrow, but figured it could not hurt to ask here. Thanks ladies!

Re: Pregnancy mask...

  • Stay out of the sun, that will make it worse.  I think there is a cream they can give you to help for now, but it generally goes away after pregnancy.

  • It popped up on my chin several weeks back and because it felt a little more dry than the rest of my face I started putting Clinique moisture surge on it. It definitely helped! Good luck!
  • @jenspec Clinique moisture surge is the boooommb!

  • Thanks ladies!!!!
  • I started getting it a few weeks ago. As pp said, stay out of the sun and always wear sunscreen and a hat if you can. I would recommend using a product that is exfoliating without retinol for the remainder of your pregnancy to lift it... In my experience, it doesn't go away. Treating it first sign will help. Good luck!
  • Make sure you wear a high factor sunscreen, even if it's cloudy. La Roche-Posay makes a very good spf 60 for the face.
