Linea Nigra

Hi Ladies

I was just wondering if the linea nigra can be on other parts of the body?
I know that sounds silly but since i have been pregnant i have a faint line straight down the middle of my forehead, it just looks like the darker skin colour just like the line on my tummy.

I thought i was imagining it but my husband said he could see it too.

Thanks for your advice with this

Hi jamnik

It could be related to the term ' pregnancy mask'. But i think thats more like marks you get on the face shaped as blotches and dots. I think i did have at one point a line like mark, except it was on the bridge of my nose!lol..but it faded away earlier on pregnancy. And all i have is blotches here and there, almost looks like aged liver spots!:rolleyes: But hopefully they will go once the pregnancy had ended.

Sorry if this doesnt pinpoint the right answer to your question. But just a thought.

Hi Jamnik,
Not sure if it's still called Linea Nigra if it's on your head, but I have the one on my belly (and mine's crooked!!! Either that or my belly button is off centre!!!), and I have really patchy, dark pigmentation on my face now. Apparently it's fairly common and hormone related. Maybe this is what you're experiencing?
Not sure if that helps at all :)
All the best,
Lily
