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.
