Doctor's answer:

Initial consideration suggests eczema, as it is caused by skin dampness and heat. It could also be due to contact with certain allergens. Oral medication is not recommended during pregnancy, but topical symptomatic drugs can be applied without steroids. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek systematic and standardized examination at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take precautions against cold and warmth, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water daily.
