S6 E5 Pregnancy and the Skin

In this episode, we delve into the various skin changes that can arise during pregnancy. We discuss common concerns such as melasma, changes in skin pigmentation, and stretch marks, which are frequently on the minds of expectant mothers. Furthermore, we address significant pregnancy-specific skin disorders that may signal more serious underlying conditions, potentially impacting the fetus. We'll also provide insights into diagnosing and effectively managing these conditions. Our panel of experts for this episode includes specialist dermatologists, Dr Emma Veysey, Dr Anita Lasocki and A/Prof Alvin Chong, and GP, Dr Laxmi Iyengar.We would like to thank our Institute Partner, Melbourne Pathology, for their support of the Spot Diagnosis Podcast and our episode partner, Pfizer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
