Hello,
What you seem to be having are called chloasma of pregnancy. These changes are caused by hormonal changes during pregnancy, which stimulate a temporary increase in your body's production of melanin. Women with darker complexions are more prone to this condition than women with lighter skin.
Treatment options include treatment with vitamin C and hydrocortisone, peel with carbon dioxide snow and alexandrite and ND-Yag Q-Switched laser treatment preceded by a hydroquinone-based application.Pls discuss these options with your dermatologist.
Hope it helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing if you have any additional queries.
