Brief Answer:
Pregnancy related skin changes
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns.
These spots are due to hormonal changes that occur in pregnancy. This is difficult to stop and is part of pregnancy process. These will stop as pregnancy advances.
I dont recommend any medicines for these at this stage as the baby is small and there is risk to baby for using these medicines.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
Regards
