Many changes occur in the body of a pregnant woman. some of these are changes in the integumentary system. what is one change in the integumentary system

Integumentary: The integumentary system consists of your skin, hair and nails, as well as underlying connective tissue that attaches your skin to your body and various glands including sweat and oil producing glands, and your mammary glands. As your pregnancy proceeds, your skin stretches to accommodate your growing uterus and breast tissue. Sometimes the stretching can tear the underlying connective tissue causing red or purple marks to appear on your abdomen, commonly known as stretch marks. In addition, increased estrogen levels during pregnancy increases the production of melanin, the pigment that gives human skin and hair its color. This often causes the ring of colour around your nipples (areolae) to darken, and may create a line of pigment that typically runs from your navel to your pubic bone. Its also possible you may develop patchy discoloration of your face and darkening of any moles and freckles. Other integumentary changes that may occur during pregnancy include accelerated nail growth and excessive hair growth in unusual places, while increased blood supply to your skin often leads to increased perspiration. Finally, while it’s commonly said that pregnancy makes your skin clear and radiant, it’s also possible for it to become oily and acne prone.
