WTF is happening to my skin? Pregnancy skin concerns – with dermatology nurse Emily

In our 117th episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with dermatology nurse Emily all about different pregnancy skin concerns: Is it common to get skin changes during pregnancy? Do pregnancy skin changes tend to be flare-ups of skin conditions that you’ve already suffered from in the past? Does it tend to be that if you suffered from a certain skin condition in one pregnancy, you’ll probably have the same skin condition in another pregnancy? Do most of these skin conditions resolve postpartum? Are melasma and hyperpigmentation the same thing? And how do you treat them? What changes should you make to our skin care regime if you’ve just found out you’re pregnant? What are the benefits of LED? Is there anything you can do to avoid skin issues during pregnancy? Is there a difference between eczema and dermatitis? And is it genetic? Are there any supplements for pregnancy hair loss/postpartum hair regrowth? Or is this something you just have to ride out? Stretch marks! For those who want to avoid or decrease them, are there any oils/treatments that work? And MUCH MORE!!!
