How to treat eczema dermatitis in pregnant women?
Pregnant women's eczema is a relatively common disease during pregnancy. Eczema is a rash-like change in the skin that occurs after pregnancy. First, we must exclude a pregnancy-specific disease called cholestasis of pregnancy. Cholestasis of pregnancy primarily manifests as skin itching, starting initially in the palms and soles of the feet and can spread to various parts of the body, with abdominal itching being the most severe. It differs from eczema mainly in that eczema usually involves changes in the skin, but the itching from cholestasis of pregnancy does not show obvious changes on the skin surface. If cholestasis of pregnancy is excluded, we can manage the condition based on the dermatologist's advice. For mild cases, some topical medications, such as calamine lotion, can be used without significant effects on the baby. If the eczema is severe or even affects sleep, sedative medications may be used before bedtime, or some oral antihistamines can help treat the condition. (Please follow the doctor's prescription when taking any medication.)
