Moles, Skin changes after pregnancy

[Mum2FunkyDude]

I would like to know if some skin changes are normal after pregnancy. I have a few moles that has grown a bit in size and has gone squishy from being quite firm. I've also had a few new ones come along since giving birth and now have a round red painless and "itchless" dot on my arm that came out a week ago. Did anyone else experience any skin changes?

Where are the moles? If they're on your tum and got stretched it could be normal but to be on the safe side go see your GP anyway

I also gained some new moles during pregnancy and they are now starting to fall off - in fact one fell off within a couple of weeks of giving birth - however, I am not sure if this is normal but thought it might help if you knew others had the same!

I've had loads of new moles, changes and littles white lumps since i've been pregnant including one on my back which I'm really concerned about but the doctor said it was ok. I'm going to get them all checked out once he or she has arrived and my hormones have settled a bit but my doctor did say to expect skin changes.

Hi they are on my back, inner thigh and upper arm, I had no stretch marks during pregnancy except my boobs. I'm a little concerned as I know as a child I spend too much time in the sun. I haven't been in the sun for 8 years now!

I know you develop skin flaps during pregnancy, which do fall off, I had a few of those over my chest area and thighs, they all fell off. I think I will give the new one another week or so, if it develops into something I'll have it checked out.

Thanks everyone.
