Hi,
If you are pregnant then apply Azelaic acid cream (Azelax). It can cause irritation. Avoid lots of sun exposure, use mild SPF sunscreen. The causes are hormones or UV rays.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
