Dry Skin Rash

When I was taking birth control I would get a dry skin rash on my cheeks and forehead. I quite taking birth control and it went away, my primary doctor told me it was an allergic reaction a couple years ago. I am now 22 weeks pregnant and my rash is back. I am taking allergy medivatipn but it is not helping. I can put lotion on at 7 am and my face will be dry again by noon. Does anyone else have this rash?. What do you use that helps with it?.

Thanks anyway. I will try the lotion with oatmeal in it.

Well then it could just be something caused by the increased hormones, which would explain why you had it when taking birth control as well. I'm not sure what would be best to help it though, sorry.

I dont think its eczema because I grew up dealing with it and it feels and looks different than eczema. It doesn't itch like eczema.

It might be eczema. Lotions specifically for that have oatmeal in them to help get rid of the dryness, so it might help more than a normal lotion.
