DARKENING ON FACE IN PREGNANCY

The increase in darkening, i.e. the increase in pigmentation during pregnancy, is called the pregnancy mask (chloasma, melasma) (chloasma gravidarum). It often disappears after birth. It occurs when pregnancy hormones increasing during pregnancy increase melanotropin substance. Although it is mostly on the face, forehead, nose, and cheeks, darkening may occur in the nipples, armpits and genital area. Birth control pills rarely cause such spots. Cosmetic products such as some make-up, cologne, perfumes, soap and moisturizers can also cause such stains, especially after sun contact.
In the pregnancy mask, spots occur only in areas exposed to the sun. Usually the spots are brown, blue.
Overexposure to the sun can cause these spots to increase, so avoid sun exposure too much and apply sunscreen cream on the face. Sunscreens should include both UV-A and UV-B protection. UVA can also pass through glass, so sunscreen should be worn regularly all day even if it is not taken out. Stains in the pregnancy mask may go away after birth, and may continue for years or even for life. If the spots do not disappear after birth, it is necessary to contact a dermatologist.
In treatment, it is important to avoid sun exposure, using sunscreen creams, wearing hats and glasses, and drugs and cosmetics that increase sun sensitivity. Apart from these, medications recommended by dermatologists may be required. Drugs or laser treatments that reduce the pigment production of melanocytes and lighten the spots can be used with the advice of dermatologists. In dark-skinned people, treatment is more difficult and takes longer and the risk of recurrence is higher.
