Dark pigmentation on buttocks and thighs

I'm 35 weeks pregnant now. I realized my buttocks and thighs have very dark pigmentation since 2nd trimester and it just get worse, that I don't dare to wear shorts out now. Wonder if anyone here has the same issue as normally only heard of dark armpits and not dark buttocks.

That's because pregnancy hormones cause the body to make more pigment. Dark spots usually fade on their own after you give birth.

It’s normal. Will go back after your give birth and a few months more (depend on individual)

Hi there I’m experiencing the same thing . Did you go to a skin doctor ?

I’m experiencing it too! I looked more tanned during this pregnancy.

It’s normal. Mine hasn’t even fully gone away even 7 months pp.
