What Causes White Patch On Stomach During Pregnancy?

I am 32 weeks pregnant and have a White patch on belly that has just appeared over last couple days. It's about 1.5 - 2 inches wide, going from bottom of belly button to pubic bone, nothing above. Rest of belly normal pinkish colour . I've seen other women with very thin line down complete centrebof belly, mine nothing like this. What's it? Anything to get checked out?

Hi, I have gone through your question. The white patch on the lower abdomen can be a fungal infection or any other depigmented patch. Fungal infection are common in pregnancy, but they are associated with itching.
I would suggest you to consult a dermatologist to get examined, investigated and treated.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
