During pregnancy, pregnant women are prone to various skin problems due to endocrine changes in the body. These include pregnancy-specific skin problems, exacerbation or recurrence of pre-existing skin problems, and general susceptibility to skin problems. Among them, the most common are skin problems unique to pregnancy.
1. Skin diseases specific to pregnancy
1. Pregnancy spots: Also known as \”chloasma\”, they are a common pigmented skin lesion, mostly seen on the face and neck. Mainly manifested as light brown or dark brown patches, clear and varying in size.
2. Pregnancy rash: refers to red papules or blisters that appear on the chest, abdomen, arms and other parts of the body after pregnancy. Severe cases may be accompanied by severe itching.
3. Pregnancy seborrheic dermatitis: It is a common skin disease, mainly manifested by erythema, erosion and exudation. It is more common on the face, neck, chest and abdomen.
2. Skin diseases that existed before pregnancy worsen or recur during pregnancy
1. Eczema: Patients with eczema during pregnancy often experience dry, red, flaky skin, and severe itching.
2. Psoriasis: Patients with psoriasis during pregnancy may experience increased skin lesions and increased spread.
3. Urticaria: Patients with urticaria during pregnancy often experience increased papules, enlarged area and prolonged duration.
3. Skin diseases that pregnant women are commonly susceptible to
1. Infectious skin diseases: such as pyoderma, fungal infections, etc. Due to the weakened immunity of pregnant women, they are susceptible to invasion by various microorganisms.
2. Allergic dermatitis: such as contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, etc. Due to the increased skin sensitivity of pregnant women, they are prone to allergic reactions to external stimuli.
3. Drug-induced dermatitis: Because pregnant women need to avoid using certain drugs during pregnancy, they are prone to skin problems caused by drug allergies.
In general, pregnant women need to consult their doctor before using any medicine. Although some medicines are safe outside of pregnancy, they may have different effects during pregnancy. In addition, maintaining good eating habits and living habits are also important measures to prevent skin problems.
