Palms of hands and soles of feet develop a reddish color due to the hormonal changes. This syndrome is called "palmer erythyma". Palmer erythyma disappears after conceiving without any treatment.

Developing skin tags during pregnancy is a common issue. Skin tags are generally developed where skin gets rubbed against skin or cloth, viz. folds of the neck; bra line.
