Welcome to HCM.
Dark pigmentation occurs on the body during pregnancy ,it due to hormonal changes.
don't worry about that,it will disappear slowly.
Drink enough water and other liq.
Eat regularly good nutritious,high fiber diet.
Keep proper hygiene of body,Use medicated soap.
Use good moisturizer daily. Aloevera gel is helpful for it.
consult your dermatologist for further guidance.
