Itchy sore skin...

I'm about 9 weeks, for 2/3 weeks I've had dry skin, really itchy and sore - more so on my back.

I've tried butters, coconut oils, baby creams. Nothing works. I've resorted to sudocrem on my face (at night of course) and this is lovely but I need a body solution.

Never suffered from eczema before, just occasional dry skin

Anyone else in the same boat?

I have this, I use a thick stretchmark cream or oil every night and after every shower/bath, otherwise it drives me mad. I can't remember the name of the cream I use it comes in a cream pot covered in writing, came from boots, it's mostly cocoa butter but with rose hip oil and some other stuff.

Dr Palmers stretch mark cream kept mine in check - my skin is sensitive and I have had eczema before but early in this pg it got really bad, my back was like sandpaper and I got really spotty so couldn't even use Simple. Vaseline intesive care (sensitive one) in tiny little splotches when my face was really tight and dr palmers everywhere else.
