Hyperpigmentation

My armpits and groin area are super dark after I got pregnant. Dark is quite an understatement. I have tried The Ordinary glycolic acid but it is not helping. Any idea what I can do to whiten it and if it will go away after giving birth?

I’m facing the same thing. I’m so insecure over it, tried a lot of things to help lighten it but unfortunately it’s the hormones. So hopefully it gradually go away after birth. 🤞🏼

with my first pregnancy I had the same issue but 6months after giving birth it all went away naturally. don't worry about it it's all because of the hormones

Just keep it clean. Can moisturise with lotion if you want. It will go away after birth.

Don’t think it’s safe to use glycolic acid during pregnancy

Research says it’s safe

Yes it will go away after giving birth
