Develop skin issues during pregnancy?

Question

Is it possible to develop skin issues while pregnant? 
I’m 14 weeks and my skin has been dry, itchy, and red all over my body. My palms and soles of feet are not itching as I’ve heard that’s a bad sign so that’s good at least. 
When I wash dishes, use lotion, body wash, really anything it burns and itches my skin. 
Should I talk to my doctor or is this normal?

Answer

Yea that’s really common. These babies drain us of all moisture and nutrients, and your skin can also become more sensitive. I’m having issues with dry skin, but I’m also getting hives for no damn reason. Pregnancy is full of fun surprises.

Answer

I actually talked to my doctor about it because my skin was so dry on my hands. It normally gets dry from winter weather, washing hands constantly (I’m a teacher) and just normal things. But it started way earlier then normal and is bad! She said it’s completely normal and recommended oatmeal based lotion (it won’t sting when you use it) so I’ve been using a Aveeno Eczema and Eucerin lotion.

Answer

My face is terribly dry and flaky no matter how much moisturizer I use

Answer

Dryness is super common. I got dry patches all over especially on my face and legs. I think as long as it's not a rash you're ok. But definitely bring it up, they might have some suggestions!

Answer

I’ve got the worst dry patches just inside my hair line. Way worse than any dandruff I’ve ever had. And I can’t go applying lotion to my hair all day 😂
