skin problems!

For the past month my skin is driving me crazy! My forarms have developed eczema type rash (very dry, red, cracked patches) my face is super oily and super dry at the same time! And my scalp is always itchy. What is this? Make it stop!
I'm 10 weeks with my first. :(

I suffer so bad from eczema so when i fall pregnant i end up getting it ten times worse due to hormone changes the only thing i can suggest is get a good moisturiser keep using it, it should get a little easier and a good tea tree or dandruff shampoo as these have good cooling down properties which should help itching good luck

I had very minor Eczema on the inside of my arms (elbow area) before pregnancy. Now at 34wks it is driving me nuts and doubled in size.
I take warm bath with oil in it (i ran out of bio oil so used canola lol still helped a lot!)

Then I just rub a lot of moisturizer on it!
