I have developed more skin tags in this pregnancy esp. under BB's. I don't like looking at them they make me sick. I went to Walmart and they has a skin tag remover by Dr. Scholls but affraid to use it right now because of my pregnancy.

Funny thing is I know when I'm pregnant because my starts to 'act up'.. lol.. I get heat rashes and acne. My last pregnancy it was during the summer time and I began to get white spots on my face. My doc said it was from the sun and suggested sunblock. Now i have this heat rash across my chest and it itches like crazy, i have been putting benadryl and cortisol on it and it helps temporarily. Any suggestions? also my boobs have gotten so big and they sweat underneath so much that it is staring to darken an the skin is sort of peeling. I always seem to get the bad side of the skin during my pregnancies. Where is my pregnancy glow? Maybe i will get the nice, pretty glow near the end, lol

Pregnancy is such fun.... I didn't get the 'pregnancy mask' on my face, but under my arms I got dark brownish black colouring.... eww! Luckily it went away after the babies were born!! Sooooo glamourous!

has anyone tried using mineral makeup to help cover skin blotches during pregnancy. My liquid is almost and its not really covering much anyways. So I thought I would try something new. Just wondering is anyone else has used it and if it really works any better than liquid.

I have developed skin tags EVERYWHERE since becoming pregnant. I have them under my breasts, in my arm pits, 'down there'...but the worst ones are on my neck. It's so bad I won't wear my hair up. I am going to the dermatologist as soon as I can after my little boy arrives! Is this happening to anyone esle?

This itching is driving me insane! My nipples and belly are persistently itching so badly that I am causing myself excoriations. The cocoa butter lotion hasn't helped. So far, cortisone on my nipples, and using the Gerber Grins and Giggles Oatmeal baby lotion are the only things that help. Even this is only for a few hours. I think I am going to get Gold Bond Medicated lotion today. They have an anti-itch formula that used to work well on my legs. Anyone have this problem, and how did you solve it?? I have 4 months to go.

Since becoming pregnant I've had acne on my back. YUCK! I also have psoriasis and now I have a flare up and it's really bad..i can't take anything for it..the meds cause birth defects. I hope it goes away.

My Linea Negra is not in the center. I know this is dumb but it's driving me crazy lol. I'm very much a symmetrical person so I just wish it were in the middle. It almost doesn't even touch my belly button it's so off to the side.

my forehead, chest,and upper back have broken out in a raised acne type rash, it feels flakey and bumpy, however not itchy, it looks awful and i dont think its actual acne as theres no heads as such on the bumps, there tiny but many, i didnt get this with my first pregnancy, anyone else got this???

Anyone have the 'mask' on other parts of their bodies. I have what looks like that on my breasts. I haven't talked to midwife about it...It looks just like what women get on their face...a blotch tan.

my cousin had it like you would not believe... she looked like she had dipped her face in chocolate and bits had fallen off! shes quite olivey and it was really patchy and there was nothing she could do.. demalogica do a good brightening treatment for over pigmentation - its pricey tho.. other than that you just have to use a really strong strong suncream to minimise the effects of being outside in daylight.. hers faded after her bubbah was born..

in my pregnancy my skin got really bad. it was dry and i always had a pimple! then after i gave birth it it changed so fast first it got realy oily and then it cleared up...omg i cant believe how good my skin looks now. for all you mommys out there with skin problems..make sure after you give birth to keep taking your prenatal vitamins it will help restore all the nutrients you lost during pregnacy....good luck!!!
