exhausted and ezcema flare-up

[1515744861889790218_637_5]

I feel like my ezcema has gotten worse since being pregnant. My doc says its not a good idea to use a lot of my skin steriod cream, any advice for relief? I  have not slept through one full night, am I alone??

My right hand flares up bad so i use witch hazel starts clearing up with in two days!

I suffered for months. Finally my doc told me to get cetaphil skin cleanser once a day in the shower, switch to a baby laundry soap and to use the steroid cream sparingly, plus to make sure my skin stayed hydrated. I did and now I've been symptom free for awhile now! It's so nice to wake up from itching!

Omg I'm not alone. I have suffered with this for 4 months. I use triamin .1% and my doc says try not to use as often, that's hhard to do. I use Vaseline to give the dryness some relief. Nothing seems to help. Any other tips people??!!

Yes it's safe I'm 36 weeks and baby's just fine.

Is the triamcl.... OK to use while pregnant? No harm to the baby?

Mine is terrible too and im only 13 weeks. Normally mine flares in the summer. NEVER the winter. My legs back everything looks like I got attacked by something. I cant stop itching. And lotions dont help either.

I went through the same thing every prescription you can imagine even all the over the counter stuff I suffered for months, my eczema was bad my pits, my back my neck, stomach, between my thighs I was covered then my obg prescribed me triamcinolone acetonide ointment 0.5% and it has worked miracles I used it for a week and it cleared everything, maybe it will do the same for you.
