    White Pigment Change

    I gave birth to a beautiful little boy about 15 months ago. About 2 months after he was born the pigment in my skin under my eyes changed from olive to white. I figured it was a pregnancy/hormone related thing and it would sort it self out but 13 months on and it is still there and I am starting to get a little concerned. Has anyone else experienced this or heard of this happening. As this is on my face I am becoming quite self conscious about it.

    Yep, I have a discolouration on my forehead which never went post-birth of my son nearly 2 years ago. I remember having it also on my cheeks with both DS and DD however it seems to have faded. I'm sure it will come back when I'm further along in this pg.

    I don't have any suggestions as to how to deal with it - cosmetic concealers? Maybe speak to your GP to get referred to a dermatologist. Maybe they can help.
