It almost looks like I have freckles all over them. Glad to hear it all goes away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-side-effect-skin-crease-darkening#post-562995 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 01:52:41 +0000 mrsjyw 562995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: yup!

I always bragged about my beautiful smooth and underarms until they got very dark during preganancy. The good thing is that it went away about 4 months after I had my LO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-side-effect-skin-crease-darkening#post-562958 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 23:32:39 +0000 shopaholic 562958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Oh that's kind of a relief to know that yours went away!</p> <p>@Arden: Hmmmm..... the weird places these things affect us huh? I have creases where you mention too - from sleeping on my sides now! I can't wait till we can sleep on our backs again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-side-effect-skin-crease-darkening#post-562942 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 23:03:38 +0000 Arden 562942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have them under my breasts and a little bit in the center, in my cleavage. I hope they go away after pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-side-effect-skin-crease-darkening#post-562940 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 23:01:41 +0000 immabeetoo 562940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did on my ankles! It was so weird in front of them got dark purple and scaly almost. I called them my alligator patches. They're gone now at 2 months pp :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-side-effect-skin-crease-darkening#post-562932 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 22:49:19 +0000 shopaholic 562932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Among all the different side effects of pregnancy, one that I had never heard of but am experiencing is this weird darkening of the skin creases in the armpits. I hope that even makes sense? The creases have turned kind of a purple-ish color. I've always been kind of proud of having nice, clean-looking armpits (haha - weird I know). But I never had stubble or that dark shadow look.<br /> So these weird purple lines are so strange! Did anyone else experience or notice this during their pregnancies? And if so, did it eventually go away? </p>
