Hi dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

The symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards hormonal changes ( as you also mention in query ) . The condition is also known as Melasma, or chloasma . You should not apply any cream or ointment by your own , because sometimes steroid ointments can make it worse . So use any skin product only under the advice of expert . There are also be other possibilities like allergic reaction , any auto immune disease or skin infection . I would suggest you to to consult dermatologist as well as endocrinologist for proper examination . Till then put cold compresses on affected area several times a day , take benadryl and avoid sun exposure .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
