Patient's question:
Pregnant 32 weeks. Itchy abdomen, with many small red spots. Checked at the hospital, it wasn't high bile acid. The doctor said it's because pregnancy stretch marks are about to appear. Now I can't sleep well and feel very uncomfortable. How can I reduce the itching? Recommend some creams.Doctor's answer:
The phenomenon you're experiencing is likely due to a mild allergic reaction. It's important not to overworry. During pregnancy, maintain a balanced diet with adequate nutrition, drink plenty of plain water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and keep the affected area clean. This should help alleviate the symptoms.Skin itching may be caused by elevated bile acids. 1. Rest more, keep the skin dry and clean, and wear cotton clothing. 2. You can consider using desonide acetate cream topically on a small area.
