Underarms while pregnant

Oo mama, yan talaga ang hormones ng pregnancy, marami sa atin ang naka-experience ng darkening sa underarms at other body parts, parang ang neck, inner thighs, even sa nipples, kaya hindi ka lang! It's called melasma or hyperpigmentation, and the good news is karamihan bumabalik sa normal shade after you give birth, though it takes a few months pa. A few of us mums swear by gentle exfoliating with a soft brush or washcloth pag nag-shower, and keeping the area dry kasi moisture can make it darker, but honestly the best remedy is patience lang because most of it fades naturally once your hormones settle down postpartum. Just avoid harsh products muna while pregnant, and if it really bothers you after delivery, you can ask your OB about safe brightening creams then. Chin up, it's temporary!
