Eczema Treatment Care

I am now 1 day late for my period. We TTC for our first time this month. For the past week and a half I’ve gotten a bad flare up of eczema (worse than it has EVER been in my life). Has this happen with anyone else who has been pregnant?

I’m a little over 3 months pregnant and I’m very itchy and dry. I don’t know that I would classify it as eczema at this point, but I definitely am needing lotion!

I have a doctor appointment friday, but thats a whole week from now. What can I do to help control it and tone down the redness until then? I really need all the answers I can get, so please tell me any remedies you know of for eczema. Im very desperate- it is so embarrassing.

You probably know all this but:

Avoid daily showers. You don’t need it and it just strips your skin of moisture. While in the shower, use warm (not hot) water.

Use Cetaphil to cleanse your skin instead of soap. This can be used without showering as well as in the shower.

Use a thick moisturizer like Aquaphor.

Protect your skin from the cold and from wind-burn with appropriate clothes, like a long coat that covers your butt and thighs.

Run a vaporizer or humidifier in your bedroom at night and if you can, as many other rooms as you can.

Turn the heat down before bed to keep the air from becoming too dry.
