eczema nightmare!!!!

I'm only 9 weeks in and my eczema  is flared up like never before!
My face, arms, and chest are all super red and itchy.  

I went to the dermatologist today and she said that is this nothing she can prescribe. :(


Anyone else going through this too.

I used coconut oil and it helps a lot. Use the organic kind. Look it up on pinterest

This happened to me at around 20 weeks and it was miserable. I remember going into urgent care because it hurt so bad but every doctor I saw told me steroid cream could hurt the baby so there's nothing they could do! I sat in my car and cried my eyes out. Finally my husband found this Aveno eczema thearpy cream at the store and it helped sooooo much. I highly recommend trying it. Also try not to stress because I think that's what triggered my flare up to begin with.

Eucerin and aquaphor helped my eczema. I was prescribed triamcinolone, a yellow antibiotic cream that will help. Get a second opinion from another doc to see if you can use it. Good luck.
