Patient's question:
Female, 21 years old, always itchy and uncomfortable. The skin on the affected area is red with small spots, and sometimes it even breaks and oozes yellow fluid. After checking at the hospital, it was diagnosed as eczema. I want to ask, if pregnant with eczema on the feet, how to deal with the intense itching?Doctor's answer:
You can use some mild eczema creams. External creams generally have no significant impact on the fetus. If the eczema recurs frequently, affecting the pregnant woman's mood, it can be detrimental to the fetus. It is recommended to consult a dermatologist to confirm if it is eczema, and then apply some cream. It usually improves quickly. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations in a regular top-tier hospital as soon as possible based on their own condition to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep the room well-ventilated, eat light and soft foods, and drink plenty of warm water daily.
