I got eczema with this pregnancy (ftm). My doctor told me to use Eucerin. I love it. I have to apply it at least daily. If you let it get too dry it becomes painful

I had the same issue in the second trimester, I have had it since I was little but it really flared up. I changed my laundry detergent to all free and clear, use unscented soap like dove, and use a good mild lotion. My doctor recommended lucerine

I haven't with pregnancy but am going thru it with my 11 month old. We where recommend eczema lotion from target the generic of aveeno. It's in the lotion area in a white bottle with a brown lid. After 3 days of use he is looking so much better. It was all over his body. Stop using Sented wash and with no dye in it. It's a start and is working great so far!
