Pregnancy induced eczema

[lockdownbabyx]

So I wasn't aware this was even a thing! Never suffered with eczema before, but the last couple of days I've had this appear. It's a little itchy and can be flakey. Anyone else had this? I'm only 9 weeks, is it likely to get worse? Xx

I had it in one pregnancy, was on my thighs and very itchy. I miscarried that pregnancy though and it disappeared after.

Try some emollient cream to calm it.

I've got this on my back! 18 weeks. I'm using a Lush lotion that seems to be helping. Not sure if it's pregnancy or the pollen coming out, but not normal for me.

Yes, have it on my rib cage having never had it before. The doctor prescribed some cream (I was using sudocream and they said that wouldn’t help at all!), and it’s much better. It’s not totally gone, but it’s not scaly, red and itchy anymore. If you go into a pharmacy, they can recommend ones you can use during pregnancy.

Got it on my legs in 2nd trimester, though never had eczema before.
No cream would help but bioderma Atoderm ultra soothing balm.
Would highly recommend!

(Was recommended by my midwife)

I have mild eczema anyway and pregnancy has made it worse... Aveeno cream is helping, I highly recommend it!

I had this on my face - I bought some of the aveeno dermexa emollient overnight balm (I bought the baby one as it was cheaper and better reviews) - it cleared it up in a day!!

Thank you all! Can't believe how common it is, learn something new everyday. Xx
