What Do Circular Discoloration On The Legs During Pregnancy Indicate?
Question: I am about 35 weeks pregnant. Today I was cleaning a carpet using the rug doctor. Later on this evening I notice these circular like things that came up on my skin. About 8 on my left leg and 2 on my right leg. Should I call my obgyn and inform her about this. could this affect my unborn babies?
Brief Answer:
likley urticaria
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
I have reviewed the photographs.
These seem to be the urticarial lesions which develop due to allergy, in your case might have developed due to dirt.
These will not harm the fetus or have any effect on pregnancy.
However, you should consult your OBGYN if these do not disappear in a day or two.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
