Skin Problems After Pregnancy How to Treat
Them?

Common Skin Problems During and After Pregnancy
  • Skin disorders can occur after the delivery, just
    as they might during pregnancy. Fortunately, they
    are primarily curable, so don't worry your
    postpartum skin will be back to normal in no
    time. Here, we will discuss the most prevalent
    skin problems after pregnancy.

Dermatitis/eczema
  • Eczema or dermatitis is a prevalent yet
    noninfectious skin ailment that will not transmit
    to your newborn. It is frequently an exacerbation
    of an underlying sensitive skin problem that has
    existed for some time. It can also occur in new
    moms due to excessive water contact from regular
    hand washing.
  • To relieve irritated and itchy skin, use a
    moisturizer daily. Topical steroid creams soothe
    irritated skin and are safe to use during
    nursing. Use a light soap replacement for skin
    care and keep moisturizing even after the skin
    rash has gone away.

Hair and Nail Changes
  • There is often an increase or reduction in hair
    growth and production during pregnancy. Because
    of endocrine changes during pregnancy, many women
    develop some degree of hirsutism on the face,
    arms, and back. Hirsutism usually disappears on
    its own after childbirth. However, cosmetic
    excision may be explored if the issue persists.
  • Pregnant women may also feel a modest thickening
    of their scalp hair. It is due to an extended
    active (anagen) phase of hair development.
    Postpartum, scalp hair enters a prolonged resting
    (telogen) phase of hair development. The results
    in increased shedding (telogen effluvium), which
    can last several months or more than a year. A
    few women with a propensity for androgenetic
    alopecia may experience frontoparietal hair loss,
    persisting beyond pregnancy.
  • During pregnancy, nails often grow at a higher
    rate. In pregnant women, enhanced brittleness,
    longitudinal grooves, onycholysis, and subungual
    keratosis may occur. While physicians can comfort
    patients and urge appropriate nail care, most of
    these issues disappear postpartum.

Conclusion
  • Most pregnancy-related physiological
    abnormalities in the skin improve after birth,
    but they may not resolve. Hair, nail, vascular,
    immunological, and glandular abnormalities often
    resolve within a few months of birth.
  • Pre-existing skin problems that deteriorate or
    improve during pregnancy usually revert to their
    pre-pregnancy form once the baby is born.
  • Skin problems connected with pregnancy issues
    might result in temporary or permanent problems
    for the mother, fetus, or neonate. These
    disorders must be detected and handled to reduce
    the risk of the issues or treat them when they
    emerge. Mothers with pre-existing conditions must
    plan their pregnancy in cooperation with their
    doctor whenever feasible to achieve the best
    result for mother and baby.
  • Most skin changes during and after pregnancy do
    not necessitate medical attention. However,
    consult the best dermatologist In Dubai if you're
    concerned about how your skin has altered, or
    it's interfering with your daily life.
