Have you tried drinking more water. When I don't drink enough my skin gets dry and itchy.

Since 10 weeks I've had bad itching especially at night they have tested me several time for cholestasis and everything is normal my doctors believe it's from a high level of estrogen and there is nothing they can do about it I'm now 29 weeks and take benadryl when needed the doctor assured me it's perfectly safe

Talk to your Dr. It can be cholestasis which if left undiagnosed can be very bad. I have it. My only symptom was itchiness. Mainly on hands and feet but it can be all over and mainly occurs at night.

Umm yes I am about 14 weeks and it just keeps getting worse! I put lotion on everyday and use sensitive skin bar soap and it's not getting better. I can't wait to ask my doctor what they can do for me when I go tues
