Livingstone Dermatology understands the unique dermatological needs that can arise during pregnancy. Our experienced dermatologists specialize in obstetric dermatology, providing personalized care to ensure the health and comfort of both expectant mothers and their growing babies.
Pregnancy can bring about various changes in the skin due to hormonal fluctuations and increased blood flow. Common dermatological conditions during pregnancy include:
Melasma (Pregnancy Mask): This condition is characterized by the development of brown or grayish patches on the face, typically on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip.
Stretch Marks (Striae Gravidarum): Rapid growth of the abdomen and breasts during pregnancy can lead to the development of stretch marks, which are often red or purple in color.
Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy (PUPPP): This itchy rash typically develops in the third trimester and is characterized by red, raised bumps and plaques on the skin.
Acne: Hormonal changes can lead to an increase in oil production, potentially causing or exacerbating acne during pregnancy.
Spider Veins and Varicose Veins: Increased blood volume and pressure can lead to the development of visible veins, particularly in the legs.
