Skin Changes - Gynecology

What Are Common Skin Changes During Pregnancy?

During pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations can cause a variety of skin changes. Common conditions include melasma (dark patches on the face), linea nigra (a dark line running down the abdomen), and stretch marks. These changes are usually temporary and often fade after childbirth.

Why Does the Skin Become Sensitive During Menstruation?

The skin can become more sensitive during menstruation due to hormonal shifts, particularly the decrease in estrogen and increase in progesterone. This can lead to issues like acne, dryness, and increased reactivity to products that are normally well-tolerated.
