6 months pregnant with very bad eczema on arms - need help.....

[MumGoneCrazy]

Finding a comfy long or 3/4 lenght sleeve top that wont be to hot and stuffy in the sun please

Oh and im on a tight budget Dp is recently out of work and this is our 4th Dc on the way

Try primark. Lots of kaftan style things at cheap prices in their beach wear department. You could wear them with a vest under.

Also have you tried doublebase mosturiser? Boots pharmacy sell it. Tis great for eczema. Might give you some relief and ok to use whilst pregnant.

Ive tried all sorts of creams and mosturisers but my skin is very sensitive and they always seem to make it worse

Im currently using a cream from the doctor which is helping a little but not a lot and have antibiotics (for an infection from scratching ) and oily stuff for my bath so im constantly oily and well creamed up so maybe a kaftan would be a good idea as it would be loose on my arms

Thank you

You poor thing, when it gets that bad it can be a real struggle to clear it up. Hopefully some nice new clothes will cheer you up!

No help on the shopping front but........

Rosehip seed oil is the best thing for eczema and reduces scarring too. Have also had great success with aloe vera gel with a drop of lavender oil. DS1 gets awful eczema on his arms (particularly the elbow crease) and both these recommendations work wonders on his skin.
