itchy question!!!

I keep getting this super itchy patches of skin on my arms that turn to bumps if I scratch them. My hubby says it looks like eczema but I haven't had that since I was a baby so I'm not sure what it looks or feels like. Any ideas ladies???

I also have pregnancy-induced eczema. both my children had it when they were newborns. my oldest hasn't had it since (he's only two), and my youngest has it so bad.we.go through a third of a tube of.his prescription steroid.cream every application. had to shave his head because it was so bad on his scalp. not sure if there's a connection, but I find it weird that I only got it in pregnancy...

Provably is eczema. I never had it in my life then once I got pregnant with my 1st born I had it on my leg chest and vagina it was awful! I think my pregnancy brought it on. Crazy thing too is my son has it really really bad!
