crazy eczema flare up :/ could i be pregnant or is it too early?t?

[chana522]

I have eczema. it has always been very mild and stays basically only on my arms. My neck just started breaking out like crazy this week. I have been tired and hungry but i dont want to read to much into it because it seems way to soon to be having symptoms... could it be early pregnancy signs ? or is it way too early for anything to be happening to my body. It would legitimately only be a week since conception if it were the case... :/ any input?

My eczema and psoriasis has been awful since about 5 weeks pregnant and I know it's a common side effect of pregnancy. I didn't flare that early but I did start feeling sick from 7dpo so I guess it's possible.

Be careful what you use. My gp said that my steroid creams were fine in moderation but not on large expanses of skin (it's all over my stomach). Also certain antihistamines are banned in pregnancy so check the packets of you usually use them.

I suffer quite badly with eczema and it has annoyingly got worse through my pregnancy, but didn't really flair up more until I was about 15 weeks or so. Ended up having to see a private specialist consultant for help as it was all over my face and scalp :( 32 weeks now and it's much better after a complete change of products I use :)
