What can I do to help relieve the itch?

Question

I am currently 27 weeks pregnant and my eczema has flared up out of nowhere. I have to tried to do things at home to help relieve it and hopefully get it to go away but the last week it has just gotten bad. Is there anything that I can use to help with the itchiness? I can’t get ahold of my doctor until Monday and am for now just trying to find safe things that help at home.

Answer

Try cutting back on gluten if not completely. Takes about a week to notice on skin but makes a huge difference with itching if you cut it out completely 😊

Answer

I had the worst eczema flare ups when I was pregnant with my second. I never had eczema before until pregnancy. It’s just all the hormones causing the flare ups unfortunately. I was given a topical steroid to help with the itchiness. I was miserable.. so I can only imagine how you feel. Avoid hot/warm water, even if it relieves the pain and itch for a while, it will only dry it out and make it more itchy.

Answer

Oatmeal bath could help?
