eczema...

Is eczema common in pregnancy? I'm getting it all over my hands and they itch terribly, so bad ive scratched my hands raw. I just started using 2.5% hydrortisone cream. Its rx strength. I'm hoping it clears it up but its burning!

Can you drink danelion root tea, while pregnant? Its a detox tea. I thought we had to stay away from detox while pregnant or nursing.  I have had ezema and serissis my whole life. Ive tried every thing nothing seems to work for long on me.

Try Drinking Dandelion Root Tea, it can truly help with giving you relief. This tea helps by purifying your Liver and kidneys by removing toxins that are being forced through the skin.

I have ezcema and its usually just my hands that break out unless i use a different kind of soap or shampoo. Ezcema is just a skin condition you get when your allergic to something. Id recommend going to a derm. I can still use my cream while being preg. Id check with your doc to make sure if yoy do get meds but more than likely youll be able to use to. Stay away from hot water though take cool showers hot water will irrate it more and make you break out.

Ive had it all my life really, it does itch very bad! Some people say it may itch more when you nervous or worried about something but when I was younger it was always a problem w/ me just keep my hands clean.. for me unfortunately I had it just about EVERYWHERE! It was on my arms, hands, underarms, neck, stomach & also behind my knee caps. I never really completely got rid of it, it just goes away for awhile as long as I keep my body clean & moisturized..

I would definitely recommend talking to your doc about this. It can be normal, but it can also be a sign of something more serious, especially if it's not something you've had before. Google itchy hands while pregnant and read the babycenter article. They're really balanced and give good info without convincing you that you're dying like webmd or something.
