Anti itch creams?

Question

I’m 38 weeks pregnant and my whole belly itches something FIERCE, it’s keeping me up at night and even having my shirt touching it bothers me. Are there any creams safe to use on my belly? Lotion has stopped working. I’m miserable😩 you can also tell me to suck it up, it’s pregnancy, I won’t be offended haha

Answer

Please tell your doctor. I’m going through the exact thing. I have PUPPS. But my whole body is now itchy and rashy. I take Benadryl at night. They prescribed me a steroid cream which so far has helped a lot. Same with max strength cortisone cream you can get at the local drug store. Anything cooking helps me as well.

Answer

Call your doctor! It could be something called cholestasis or it could be nothing. I also put it off as nothing for a whole week and finally gave up and emailed my doctor only to be told she needs to run this “bule acid” test on me.  This was on monday and she finally got the results back in today, called and told me i have ICP and normally they induce at 37 weeks...im 38 weeks 2 days so getting induced tomorrow morning. Hope you get some answers!

Answer

I started itching in my second trimester, I thought I’d had a reaction to either the mustela I was trying to new clothes. I started using Aquaphor ointment and put it in the rotation with my bio oil it worked so well.
Every couple of days I use it at night before bed and keep using it for about 48 hours before switching back to the bio oil. 
My belly has thus far been super smooth and I no longer have any itching or rash like symptoms.

Gold bond lotion on the green bottle. Then sit in front of a fan.
