What Causes White Spots On Chest, Shoulders And Back During Pregnancy?
I found out I was pregnant in August, and sometime in July I began to get these white spots on my chest, right at the top of my stomach, few on my shoulders, and bigger spots on the top of my back... The ones on my front are not so big...but mostly clustered besides a few scattered ones....I ve heard pregnancy can cause skin pigment changes....but this seems odd.....could this be normal.....? My doctor told me it doesn t look pregnancy related and to just watch them ..... I don t want to have to go to a dermatologist if I don t have to but they do make me concerned.... Any ideas of what it could be from?
