Eczema during pregnancy

Oh dear, eczema flares during pregnancy can be so frustrating, especially when the usual creams don't seem to help as much as before. Since your skin is reacting differently now, it's really worth checking in with your gynae or a dermatologist, because some of the medications we normally use may need to be swapped out for pregnancy-safe options. You don't have to just tough it out, there are safe treatments available and a doctor can properly review what you're using now. Hang in there, you're doing great as a first-time mum!
