Many young mothers complain of age spotsduring pregnancy, which tend to appear anywhere, anywhere on the body: face, neck, shoulders, and even on the labia. Pigmentation on the face has a specific character, manifested as spots of light coffee color in the area of the nasolabial triangle and mouth. As a rule, they disappear in 4-5 months after the birth of the child.
Let's try to figure out whatage spots during pregnancy and why they appear. The fact is that the skin color of each person depends on a substance called melanin. During pregnancy, the body of women, or rather their adrenal glands, begins to actively release a large amount of the hormones progesterone and estrogen. By interfering with various organs of the body, they disrupt the functioning of melanin. As a result, uneven distribution of color over the skin is obtained, which is why pigment spots are formed during pregnancy. But this is one of the reasons. Another may be a lack of vitamins: folic acid, as well as vitamins B, C, and some macronutrients: iron, zinc, copper and other elements. Therefore, it is necessary to eat rationally and varied during pregnancy and, preferably, to take vitamin and mineral supplements.
In addition to age spots on the face and various partsbody, in pregnant women, there are various hormonal pigmentation: a dark brown strip appears on the abdomen, darkening nipples and genitals darken. These manifestations are characteristic of most future moms and disappear within a couple of months after giving birth. The period when the pigment spots during pregnancy occur most actively, falls on the period from March to September. This is due to the increased activity of the sun, so it is desirable at this time to use sunscreen. As a rule, the pigment spots are pale and less visible in winter.
In different pregnant women, they appear on differentperiods of pregnancy, and some even do not have them. However, those who still have them, do not worry: the only problem that is associated with their appearance, is only aesthetic in nature. For the mother and child, pigment spots during pregnancy do not pose any danger, and, according to doctors, it is better not to fight with them in order not to harm your body and fetus.
If you still do not want to go with "stained"reputation, you can take advantage of masking cosmetics, but do not resort to chemical drugs: this may adversely affect the health of your future baby. It is best to use the good old folk medicine. These can be masks and compresses from various vegetable juices or a slurry of lemon, cucumber, berries, cabbage, etc.
However, the future mother may appear not onlyyellow brown, but red pigment spots. In this case, you may be allergic. If you didn’t have it before, then during pregnancy, due to hormonal disruptions, allergic manifestations may appear, in particular a red rash. blemishes on the skin. Therefore, during this period, the use of allergenic products is undesirable, since even one orange or a chocolate cube can cause an organism to react.
Note!If you have spots on your face and body, which bring discomfort, itch, then in this case you should immediately consult a doctor for advice. Pigment spots during pregnancy are painless and do not bring any unpleasant sensations!
