Prickly heat powder

Have been feeling itchy almost from the late half of 2nd trimester still now. Can I check if prickly heat is safe for pregnancy usage? I mainly use them on my boobs only. Also balms such as tiger balm and applying ice packs on boobs? Are all these methods safe?🤔

Hi! Prickly heat is alright if your skin can take it. Ice packs on boobs is fine as well. For tiger balm, best to check with gynae? Below extracted from TB’s website. IS TIGER BALM SAFE TO USE DURING PREGNANCY OR BREASTFEEDING? Women who are pregnant, think they may be pregnant, or are breastfeeding should consult a medical professional before using Tiger Balm. https://www.tigerbalm.com/us/tiger-balm-faqs/

Ok! Thank you so much for your reply🥹 I’ve scratched my boobs till the skin peeled and it’s so unbearable🥺🥺 I think I’ll put off tiger balm for now since I won’t be seeing gynae anytime and I always forgot to ask her what I’ve prepared to ask
