Anyone have any skin changes with pregnancy?

[KrissyKris22]

So I noticed since I got pregnant my skin has changed. With my first pregnancy I developed a patch of dry skin my chin and I got a small type wart thing on the side of my face lol. After my ds was born the wart type thing went away and the brown patch never did.

Now with this pregnancy which is my second I still have the patch of dry skin my chin, my skin itches, and I have dry skin btwn my boobs. Of course I googled this and it said its common during pregnancy. Has anyone elses skin changed during pregnancy??

Mine has, my back is quite spotty at the moment, and with my daughter when I reached around 20 weeks I had spots all over my chest it was terrible. I'm not the spotty type I usually have great skin!

My spots have got really bad with this pregnancy... I always had some but my face is just awful at the minute and they really hurt too

I got so many moles when I was pregnant with lo. I have always had some but the hormonal changes in pregnancy made me get more. Its very common.

Mine has changed a lot. It's weird when I was pregnant with my dd I didn't have any of this stuff. But around 18 weeks I broke out all over my forehead, I thought it was stress related but here almost 10 weeks later it's still there and it won't go away despite several different attempts of acne treatments, face washes, exfoliation, etc. I feel like I'm back in my high school days again.

I also have had REALLY dry skin on my arms, mostly on the skin around my elbows and upper arms, and then also on the skin around the sides and back of my knees. It's like dry and dark brown patchy skin and I look like a lizard :-\ I just try to moisturize as often as I can, I use Nivea cream, it's really really thick and I'll just put on a really thick layer and let it kind of soak in. It doesn't seem to make it go away but it stops it from being itchy at least. It's crazy how each pregnancy can be so different.

I've always had basically flawless skin, even in high school. I'd get a pimple here and there but never anything obvious. Now I look like the "after" photo on those before and after people do meth slideshows.

I'm hoping it clears up as I get farther along.....

^^^ I too have the forehead acne thing going on and nothing makes it better. It started the week before I was supposed to get my period and has resisted any form of treatment. I also have developed a few moles on my stomach which scared me at first since it seemed like overnight I had them pop up. I also now get skin burn more easily so thats a bummer for being outside in the summer. I will say I can't complain too much as i've had a pretty easy pregnancy and all the skin issues are worth it.

I have developed pimples on my neck, gosh, out of all places, a neck. Also have dry skin, I switched to petroleum jelly as my moisturizer (that's the only thing that stays on my skin)

 

[wifey2013]

I normally have pretty decent skin and never wear any make up. Lately my face looks like I'm going through puberty! Acne on one whole half of my face. My friend's mom said it's called a pregnancy mask and should go away - boy do I hope she's right!!

 

[MollyNorwood]

yes! I have also been getting spottier on my neck and upper chest and my skin on my face is caught between oily and flaky dry!
My cheeks, chin and nose are flaky but my forehead and jawline seems oily which is giving me a headache as I make the oily bits worse when i apply moisturizer to my dry areas. Then the oily bits get pimples. Gargh! Can't win at the moment

This truly does suck for us while nothing really happens to the men lol. Hopefully it'll fade in due time or start to go away when pregnancy is over lol

 

[tamina800]

I have little black spots between my breasts. Didn't happen with my first pregnancy. I hope it fades away after the baby is here..
