Severe dyshidrotic eczema flare at 33 weeks pregnant + steroid rebound. Need advice/alternatives!

Hi everyone,

I’m 33 weeks pregnant and my hands are in unbearable shape. I can barely bend my fingers.

Background:

Started as contact/atopic eczema

Used a topical corticosteroid for 3 weeks .(prescribed by a dermatologist)

After stopping, I hit a massive rebound/flare. Skin became paper-thin, wrinkled,red with blisters

Current Situation:

Deep, intensely itchy blisters spreading across fingers and palms.

Parts are weeping/moist;other parts are cracked and peeling.

Almost everything triggers new blisters— natural oils (like jojoba) ,vaseline trap sweat and make it worse.

Any safe tips for late pregnancy would mean so much. Thank you!
