allergic dermatitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
From your description the most possible causes in my opinion are-
1. Dermatitis- due to
skin infection, allergy,etc.
2. Dry skin- Xerosis.
A direct examination by a
dermatologist is the best way to get it diagnosed.
Most simple rashes improve with gentle
skin care and avoiding irritating substances. You can help the improvement by
* Avoid scrubbing your skin.
* Use as little soap as possible. Use gentle cleansers instead.
* Avoid applying cosmetic lotions or
ointments directly on the rash.
* Use warm (not hot) water for cleaning. XXXXXXX dry, don't rub.
* Eliminate any newly added cosmetics or lotions.
* Leave the affected area exposed to the air as much as possible.
* Try
calamine medicated lotion.
Since you are pregnant you can use
Hydrocortisone cream (1%) available without a prescription.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
