Hi Everyone,

I have 11 month old identical twin girls and they keep me busy. This request is mostly about me. I was on bed rest in the hospital for two months before having my girls. I am happy to say that my girls are healthy and wonderful. When I finally went home and started moving around, my legs began to hurt and these spots came on my legs. I was horrified. I am seeing a dermtologist but she said all I can do is use bleaching cream. This is what I am doing now. The spots are slowing clearing but still visible. I was wondering if any mothers experience this after pregnancy. I also wanted to know if there is anything else i can do to remove these. I am a little upset because I am unable to wear skirts and dresses because of this. I will really appreciate any suggestions and help I get. Thanks in advance.

What can I do next?

Just want to say, don't use lemon juice! It will make you hypersensitive to sunlight, and can cause severe sunburns, which will just make any uneven pigment worse. Also, try adding sunscreen to your skincare.

Well congratulations on your twins!! I had my daughter 5 months ago and I also have some spots, they sort of look like tiny bruises, and I also find that I bruise more easily, and lose more hair?? I made a doctors appointment for next week to make sure everything is ok... so I don't have any good advice for what to do about the spots yet... but I just wanted you to know you are not alone!! :)

Hi, after I had my twin girls I had spots on my face. They went away gradually but i used macderma to speed up the process. Avon also has this great bleaching cream as well. Hope everything works out. You could also try lemon juice or peroxide.

Some of the research I have read says that grape seed extract is good at lightening these spots as well as varicose veins. I have tons of varicose veins and I am willing to try anything to lighten them. If I have success I will let you know. www.livegreeneasy.com

I recommend the Arbonne body serum and lotion set. It helps with age spots, discolorations, sun damage, stretch marks, and freckles since it has a botanical skin lighting agent in it. It also helps firm the skin:) Love it!! If you want more info shoot me an email at ____@____.com

Best of luck to you!
