eczema??

So my belly itches all the time and so does my finger where i wear my ring ( yes its real gold). I try not to scratch i mostly just rub my belly or remove my ring. however, i've noticed where it itches on my belly i will get bright red patches and it will seem really irritated. eczema does run in my family but i have never had it. im 32 weeks along i figured if something like this was to come during pregnancy it would have earlier not this late. i do not see my doctor until thursday to ask about it. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any safe creams i can use on my stomach to prevent it from getting worse. I don't want to go to doctors and have them try to put me on any medicine like they did with heartburn :(

Use the thicker eucerin cream before going to bed. If you can, wear cotton gloves and/or socks to heal quicker.

They have otc eczema lotions and creams. I'm also 32 weeks and very itchy. I thinks it's par for the course bc of all the skin stretching.  Plus going into winter time w baby taking so muxh out of you I know my skin is very dry no matter how much water I drink. I've noticed some patches on my hands. Personally I use vitamin e lotions.
