Dark skin in neck and underarms after pregnancy?? Help?

Its been a year since ive had my second son, now im stuck with dark skin in my neck and under my arms.. please help

Dark skin in neck and underarms after pregnancy?? Help?
maybe try natural lightening products like lime or lemon juice, sour cream or yoghurt, cucumber. I mean, apply them regularly on the skin surface following with good moisturizer. I'm 5 months after childbirth, and my dark line down the belly is still there... not so much seen, though... but I just know that some pregnancy pigmentation never goes completely, can only fade little bit...
Reply:Pls get in touch with your primary care dr or OB/GYN to have this checked out as this does not sound normal.
Reply:Unfortunately hormones during pregnancy or from birth control pills can result in darkening patches of skin.. on the face / neck area and other sensitive areas (like armpits) is most common.





The darkened skin will fade over time and there are prescription skin-lightening creams out there that will lighten the patches. (Although the creams are volatile and often have nasty side effects)





Go see your dermatologist, they'll be able to reccommend a solution to you if you are really very bothered badly by the darkened skin.





Or you could see it as mark of being a woman / mother! :)





Either way,





good luck!
