My daughter has developed one itchy spot on her palm, she is waiting to speak to her midwife, has anyone else had this ?

I have no answers I'm afraid but have suffered a similar thing so hope someone has some thoughts on it. Mine started as 1 or 2 bumps on my finger then lots of bumps on my right palm which became incredibly itchy especially at night when it got hot. I put eumovate cream on it twice a day for 7 days. After about a week the spots sort of popped and it became more like a eczema rash. Its still there but not itchy and just dry and scaly.
I'm not sure if its pregnancy related, I'm 33 weeks, or more like a atopic rash caused by an allergen of some kind. I've tried to work ot what it could be but its difficult to work out as its only on one hand.
Let us know what the midwife thinks.

The tiny clear bumps are a form of eczema I believe.

No idea about being itchy without bumps.

She is seeing the midwife in the morning for a blood test and a check on the baby as apparently itchy palms can be a symptom of the liver struggling, cant remember the name, x

Obstetric Cholestasis?

How many weeks is she? Do you mean that she has a spot that is itchy? Or that there is part of her palm that is itchy?
