Linea nigra |

Up to 90% of women may experience some degree of hyperpigmentation
during pregnancy. Hyperpigmentation may be generalized or may present as
an increase in pigment in specific areas such as the areolae, genitals,
inner thighs, or axillae. The linea alba of the mid-abdomen may darken
to become the linea nigra.(American Academy of Dermatology,
