What Is The Cause Of Hard Bump On Skin Which Is Developing During Pregnancy?
Each time I become pregnant I develop a hard bump on my skin the size of a large pimple. I have tried popping, draining, anything I could think of. It never goes away. I am very pale and the bumps are pink. One each of my last three pregnancies and all in different locations. Any idea?

Hi
You seem to be developing recurrent lesions of folliculitis.
See during pregnancy, these type of lesions can develop due to various reason's.
One is that the body immunity is already less during pregnancy, hence such lesions are common.
Also certain people tend to develop diabetes in pregnancy which can lead to such lesions.
Even itching can occur in pregnant females due to varied causes and this itching can further lead to follicular infection
