Loss of pigmentation in armpits? 10 weeks

Hi guys, just looking for some insight. I've always had slightly dark underarms and all of a sudden today I noticed this dark skin has gone in patches in both my underarms. I am also noticing it on other darker areas of my body. Can pregnancy cause vitiligo? I'm so worried!

Hi! In my first pregnancy I had darker pigmentation and dry patches of skin from my armpits, across and down my chest. It was ugly but weirdly dissappeared as soon as baby was born and then didn't happen again with my second baby! Very strange! Don't panic too much, hormones do odd things! Xx

@Trying2b thank you, its just odd it's in both arms and looks like what vitiligo would look like although the pigment hasn't completely disappeared its like multiple lighter circular patches on both. So weird!
