Hyperpigmentation during pregnancy?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I know that "mask of pregnancy" is quite common on the face, but is it possible to get it on your body? I've noticed a couple of darker patches of skin on my back. I live in a very cold climate and I've had zero sun exposure there in years.

 

Anyone else have this?

What I thought was hyperpigmentation last time was actually yeast, although mine was on my neck.  I just noticed I have it again this time in the same place.  eyesroll.gif  You might want to ask your midwife, though.   Yeast on the skin looks like round patches.  I used over the counter clotrimazole on mine twice a day and it went away in about a week.
