Was prescribed hydrocortisone cream (doc say its safe) and zyrtec (cetirizine) at GP clinic. However I stopped applying hydrocortisone cream after close to a week as I'm feeling worried about using steroid cream during pregnancy. Read about other mummies using Suu Balm and I've been using it. The cream gives off a cooling effect which helps with the itchy feeling. I only take the zyrtec pill on nights where there is a sudden bad flare up when it goes super red and itchy. Hope you found your remedy!
