My brown blotches started for me when I was on the pill. Then I got prego and they were even worse. Mine have never gone away and my doc said probably never will. They do lighten up, but they are for sure there. I am prego again and dreading being prego all summer. I know how bad they will get.
I have the mustache, raccoon eyes, heart shape one on my whole forehead, one over each eye and around my chin from ear to eat! It is not a pretty sight at all...
I also got that lovely linea negra up my belly that is SO dark and never lightened at all.
My doc said to me- welcome to being a mom! I was shocked to hear her say they would be with me forever! I am a light skinned person, but have Indian in my background and scar easily. So that combined makes me a target I guess.
My plan after this baby is born (last one) is to see a skin specialist and go from there. I know there are heavy duty creams and even laser treatments that can be done, however this all has to happen AFTER birth.
I don't have much advice other than to say you aren't alone! The best I can do now is use sun screen and lots of concealer. I know they don't really work, but better than facing the world will my fresh brown blotches :)
I hope you get some great advice and I can get some ideas! Good luck...
