Pregnancy skincare

Whilst common pregnancy skin changes pose no health problems, you should always talk to your GP if your skin is inflamed, blistered, or you have a rash, irritation or itchiness that lasts more than a couple of days.
Because other conditions, unrelated to pregnancy, could bring about skin discolouration, you should always check with your doctor or midwife if you notice any changes, such as a change in the colour or size of a mole, or if pigmentation changes are accompanied by pain, tenderness or redness.
Your doctor will be able to diagnose the condition, and make sure that you are given the appropriate treatment, should it be necessary. Learn more about these skin changes by clicking on a topic below:
