use the ointment

Nicole

so I have dishydrosis, it's a type of eczema from some kind of allergic reaction. it's mostly at my fingers and has gotten pretty painful because the skin has been splitting open and bleeding. this condition worsens the most with each pregnancy too, like pregnancy makes it flare up badly. I have changed to all natural everything in this house, put moisturizer on multiple times a day, nothing helps. so I told my doctor(my ob) finally and she prescribed me an ointment. I of course asked if it's safe for pregnancyand she says yes. so I went to pick it up today and pharmacist tells me theres been no studies on it so theres no data for effects there might be for the baby. its considered neither safe or risky. she assures me since it's a topical ointment for only 2 weeks there shouldn't be a concern. I'm already not a fan of taking anything other than prenatal while pregnant and already have one special needs child (not a birth defect) so I'm ultra paranoid about everything while pregnant. I'm thinking I should just suffer through this till the end instead of chancing anything. it's only 15 more weeks anyway. did it before with other pregnancies although this time is definitely the worst. so what do you think? chance it or deal with it?
