Three months after giving birth, he is resisting. Normal, doctor? The villain has no rules. For the lucky ones, he takes to their heels in six months. This is not the case ? We arm ourselves with patience. It usually goes away in… a few years (about four years). Quick:we consult your dermatologist and/or your gynecologist.
The gynecologist? Really ? The sun is not the only cause:contraception with a high dose of estrogen can cause hyperpigmentation of the skin. The solution after childbirth:a mini-pill (=without estrogen) or an IUD. They avoid aggravating the tasks.
How about a little miracle cream that erases everything? If you believe in Santa Claus, you can always place an order. Otherwise, on small light spots or when you are still very pregnant, you can try depigmenting creams such as Melascreen or Iklen (in pharmacies). Whatever happens, don't let go of your SPF 50 screen in summer and winter (+ headgear on the beach). Doesn't that calm things down? The dermatologist can offer a tailor-made preparation to be tested for 2 to 3 months.
Does fruit acid peeling work? Not 100%. But, since it removes the superficial layer of the dermis, it can help. We test two sessions over a month. The catch? It’s expensive (around €70) and not reimbursed. To be avoided if you have dark, mixed-race or black skin, otherwise the spots will turn white.
Can I try the depigmenting laser? Attention danger ! It works instantly. And a few months later, the tasks make a blatant return (even more intense than before). So, we avoid the laser absolutely.
