Brown Marks On Stomach

[Loveleen]

Hi All..

Today noticed during bathing I have got brown marks on the stomach near the belly button.. Initially just had a brown line..has anyone else also got that..I have started using bio oil..but seems its not working I do have some stretch marks on thighs but these brown marks dont look like stretch marks....Any suggestions will be helpful...

Thanks all...

a line that runs from belly button to pubic area is called linea nigra and is common in pregnancy...also skin can create more pigment which gives u the darker patches...I usually get them at the tops of my arms xx

i am getting little patches round the tops of my arms too

no linea nigra though (gladly, i think it looks horribs )

That's all..I am hoping these patches will fade away after pregnancy though..

They do go away after you give birth hun, don't worry.

I'm dreading this bit because I am uber-freckly on my face, and apprently that makes you more likely to get melasma... I'll look like flippin' Zorro!
