Melasma of pregnancy

The increase in multiple hormones leads to pigmentation in pregnant melasma due to pregnancy. The nipple, areola, midline of the abdomen, and genital area of ​​most pregnant women are darkened. The degree of shade varies from person to person. At the same time, the original Moles also darken. This pigmentation is due to a large amount of progesterone, estrogen and melanocyte-stimulating hormone secreted by the pituitary gland during pregnancy, which causes the function of melanocytes in the skin to increase, which is a physiological change during pregnancy.
