I am 27 weeks and my cheeks have itchy spots on them. My skin on my cheeks is really itchy. Is this normal?
They are a bit flushed also!

it happens and it is due to hormonal changes in your body. (I had bizarre itching on my back for weeks with 2 or 3 of my pregnancies, it lasted for a few weeks then stopped suddenly!)

get it checked to make sure there is no infection.

E45 is really good to use on most skin problems, gp can prescribe this and it will be free for you

I'd stop using any cosmetics to see if that makes a difference, you might just be sensitive to some ingredients to your make-up or sun-cream etc.
