Hi All,
I am in the first trimester of my pregnancy and I have a very sensitive skin. Every now and then I have some issues with my skin. Now that I am pregnant I was wondering what could be the skin problems that I may face during my pregnancy.
I am aware of one of them being Stretch Marks. Are there any such things that I should know?
My skin became oily and had got lots of acne throughout. Hope it reduces now when I have delivered my baby.
I has varicose veins during my pregnancy. Though I am not sure whether its a problem of skin or not.
I had a black color line from upper part of the belly to private area. It is till not gone fully. But its fading. Doctor said that it may take 6 to 12 months to disappear fully.
I also have been having a lot of acne and stretch marks have also appeared.
Another new problem which has started recently is red itchy rashes near the stretch marks. Doctors call these PUPPP.
Doctor told me that PUPPP will not have any adverse affect on me or my baby. And it will go after delivery. I am hoping for good.
You may find it strange but I got a new mole during my 2nd pregnancy.
I don't know if its common or it was just with me.
STRETCH MARKS which does not seem to go away till now. And I think now I will have to live with it.
Thanks god I somehow did not get too much of stretch marks. I have just a little on my thigh. I think my strong will not to itch has helped. But I did have a viral infection and got some rash kind things on my forehead but thank God it went off in 3-4 months. This infection is called "Molluscum Contagiosum". But I do not know if its specific during pregnancy.
