A member asked:
When do you develop during pregnancy melasma gravidarum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Melasma: Estrogen and other hormones are very high in pregnancy, and increased pigmentation is frequently observed. The degree of this varies depending on ethnicity, but can occur with any genetic background. Usually this pigmentation fades after pregnancy, but some may persist.
