Brief Answer:
Most probably Erythema annulare centrifugum.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Watching picture you uploaded, seems to me it is a skin condition that may happen both in different patients and in pregnant women.

If it happens during pregnancy, hormonal changes are thought to be the cause.

Usually it resolves soon after delivery, however close follow up to control spread is necessary.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
