I M Pregnant And Experiencing Severely Dry, Flaky, Red Itchy Skin Around My Eyes
I m pregnant and I have severely dry, flakey (peeling), red (burning), itchy skin that started around my eyes and has spreaded to my forehead, scalp,, around and on ears and now down my neck ( front and back). I s Have stopped using makeup and keeping area clean and moisturizer with aquaphor for almost 5 months now. I saw a dermatologist right before I got pregnant and was told it seemed like chemical allergic reaction. There s nothing they say they can do because of the pregnancy. Please any suggestions on how to naturally treat it or make it tolerable and stop the spreading for the rest of the pregnancy.
The symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction. As per natural treatment,I suggest using cold compresses. I also suggest to apply chamomile tea to relieve the symptoms. You can also use antihistamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily which is a safe medication to have during pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
