Asking for a friend: I was diagnosis having ezcema during 28th weeks and given hydrocortisone cream 0.5% by my gynae but it does not seem to help. Any remedies to relieve my itch and discomfort?

You can try these non-medical remedies/ways to relieve your itch and discomfort: - If you know what triggers your eczema t be aggravated, stay away from them. Avoid fragranced products. These may aggravate your already sensitive skin. - Don’t soak. Try to avoid spending too much time in the water (showers, baths, swimming pools). - Moisturize early and often. This helps lock in your skin’s own moisture and prevents dryness and cracking. - Try to stay cool in the humid tropical weather. Try not to get too hot or sweaty as these are two of the most common eczema triggers. Wear loose, cotton clothes and avoiding synthetic fabrics, wool, or any material that feels rough to the touch. http://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/whose-body/eczema-dermatitis.aspx
