Red spots on the legs of pregnant women

Pregnancy is a very important stage for women, but during pregnancy, a woman's body will undergo various changes. Especially the skin on the body, there will be some corresponding changes, such as the accumulation of pigments, or some general growths. Reactions during pregnancy are relatively normal, but if an allergic reaction occurs, you need to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and treatment. What does it mean when small red spots appear on the legs during pregnancy?

Many pregnant women will develop small red spots on their skin during pregnancy. Although the small red spots do not seem to be very serious, the itching they bring to pregnant women puts them in a dilemma. They are afraid of scratching and getting infected, and they are also afraid that applying medicine to relieve the itching will affect the fetus. Pregnant mothers are very confused about this matter. Could these little red spots on their bodies be fetal toxins?

"Fetal toxin" is just a name widely circulated in Chinese folk customs. If this phenomenon must be called "fetal toxin", it is not impossible, but pregnant mothers must not blindly get rid of fetal toxins, especially not take some unknown folk remedies. The reasons for the red spots on the skin of pregnant women should be found from a scientific perspective.

If a pregnant woman has red spots on her skin, the first possibility is pregnancy toxic rash. This type of rash is more likely to occur in short and fat mothers. It tends to occur at the same time as stretch marks. The cause of pregnancy toxicity rash is mostly caused by the imbalance of male hormones in pregnant women, and it will cause harm to the fetus.

The small red spots may also be papular skin inflammation during pregnancy. However, the incidence of this type of skin fungal infection is extremely low, and the exact cause of the disease is still unclear at this stage, but it may cause risks such as miscarriage and stillbirth, and it is a disease that cannot be ignored. About 15% of pregnant women experience itchy skin during pregnancy, which is caused by pregnancy dermatitis. Pregnancy skin disease can cause itching all over the body.

Generally, pregnant women in their 6th to 7th month of pregnancy are very prone to pregnancy skin diseases. Pregnancy dermatosis is just a symptom of itching, and there will be no changes on the skin surface. Its occurrence is related to excessive estrogen secretion in pregnant women during pregnancy, and will seriously affect the fetus. Pregnancy rash is also the cause of small red spots on the skin of pregnant mothers. Women who are pregnant from 4th to 9th month are very prone to pregnancy rash. This type of rash is more common on the limbs, a little red like a mosquito bite, and will not affect the growth and development of the fetus.
