What should I do if I have spots on my face after giving birth?

Pregnant women will experience many changes in their bodies due to endocrine changes, but different people will experience different changes due to different physical conditions. Therefore, some women will develop spots after pregnancy, while others will not. For women who are prone to freckles, removing freckles after childbirth is very important because they want to regain their beauty. So, what should you do if you have spots on your face after giving birth? Let’s find out together.

Pregnancy is a happy thing. With the changes in endocrine system, about 70% of expectant mothers will have large and small yellow-brown butterflies on their faces, which will affect their appearance. Experts remind new mothers not to worry too much about the prevention and treatment of pregnancy spots.

Some pregnant women will develop brown spots on their faces in the fourth month of pregnancy. They are distributed on the bridge of the nose, cheeks, and forehead in a butterfly shape. They are called pregnancy spots. They are caused by increased secretion of melanocyte-stimulating hormone by the pituitary gland during pregnancy. Usually, pregnancy spots will reduce or even disappear on their own within 3-6 months after delivery. Only some women with special physical constitutions and special internal diseases can see them disappear, and they need to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

To speed up the disappearance of pregnancy spots, experts recommend some simple and easy methods:

1. Rinse with cold and hot water. Alternately rinse the spots on your face with cold and hot water to promote blood circulation in the corresponding parts and accelerate the decomposition of melanin.

2. Diet therapy: Use food to prevent and treat pregnancy spots. Mainly supplement vitamins. Eat more kiwi, tomato, strawberry and other foods rich in vitamin C. Water and dairy products rich in vitamin B6 are very effective. Homemade medical mask: Grind the leaves of the persimmon tree into powder, take 30 grams and mix them with 30 grams of white vaseline to make an external ointment. Apply it to the spots before going to bed every day. Wash it off the next morning. It needs to be applied for half a month to one month to be effective. Or use 2 eggs and 30 grams of Poria powder. Take egg white and mix it with Poria powder, then add appropriate amount of water to make a paste. Apply it on the face for 20 minutes and wash it off with clean water.

3. It is important to note that sunlight exposure will deepen pregnancy spots, so it is not advisable to wear heavy makeup during pregnancy and avoid direct sunlight. Wear a sun hat and sunscreen when going out. Also, take oral vitamins and medications for treatment. Do not take endocrine preparations such as cortisone and estrogen during pregnancy, otherwise it may affect the development of the baby.

4. In daily life, a simple way to remove freckles is to regularly consume foods rich in vitamins, such as lychees, walnuts, watermelons, honey, pears, tomatoes, etc. You should also eat more foods rich in vitamin E, such as cabbage, carrots, eggplant, rapeseed oil, chicken liver, etc.

1. When washing your face, add 1-2 tablespoons of white vinegar to the water to help reduce pigmentation.

3. Blend the lemon juice and add sugar water to drink in moderation. Lemon contains a lot of vitamin C, calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc. Drinking lemon juice regularly can not only whiten your skin, but also precipitate melanin, achieving the effect of removing spots.

4. Taking a tablet of vitamin C and vitamin E every day can achieve the effect of removing freckles.

5. Apply clean eggplant peel on your face. After a period of time, the small spots will not be so obvious.

The above is an introduction to spots on the face after giving birth. What needs to be reminded here is that removing spots on the face after giving birth requires a long-term process and will not be effective in the short term. Therefore, if you are a breastfeeding woman, it is best to use medication or laser to remove spots after you finish breastfeeding. Of course, the best way to remove freckles is to adjust your lifestyle.
