dyshidrotic eczema

Please can someone help me, feel like I'm going insane!
I've had extremely itchy feet for over a week. I'm pregnant so got tested for that liver problem you can get in pregnancy and all came back fine. I then noticed tiny little blisters on the insides of my toes and sides and bottoms of feet, when googled it looks and sounds just like a form of eczema called dyshidrotic eczema. It is so unbearably itchy. It's keeping me up at night and throughout the day I'm just holding back on getting the cheese grater on my feet. I've been using Sudocrem but it's not helping much at all. Has anyone else got this or unbareably itchy eczema that can suggest some form of relief or creams (I'm pregnant so unsure what I can use)

I get this on my hands and a bit on my feet except it's not usually itchy. I've been rubbing pure Shea butter into them. Not sure if it's helping

Hi, I get this on my fingers and can itch. My daughter has this at the moment on her hand, and it itches too. Went to the Dr today and gave her a cream for it. Maybe speak to the Dr’s?

My son had this on his hands for a while. The GP gave him a few creams that didn't work and he eventually got eumovate and this cleared it up. I'm sure wou can get it in the chemist without a prescription.

I thought I had this on my feet. I definitely get it on my hands. Zeoderm cream and string steroid cream help.

My feet seemed to be athletes foot. The itchy blisters were on my toes (with the odd one between) and sides of feet. Really nasty red blisters with fluid and sometimes pus. Left red scars. Have settled very nicely with cream and powder. Left with very peely skin though.

Best see the gp or pharmacist if you are pregnant though.

Dermol 500, otc from the pharmacy, always fixes mine when it flares and will be fine while you're PG

Thanks everyone. I went the pharmacy and they recommended some dermalex eczema cream so I've been using that throughout the day and then at night I put sudocrem on my feet with cotton socks to sleep in which seems to be helping a bit. Might give the dermol 500 a go and if nothing heals it in the next few weeks I'll have to make a trip to the doctors!
