I’m so over my skin right now 🫩 I’m 27 weeks pregnant and my eczema has been flaring ever since my positive test in November. I barely wear makeup anymore as someone who loves it (and feeling good), out of fear of a facial flare up (I notoriously get swollen eyelid flares).

My hands are cracked and I have barely been sleeping for months with just waking up to cracked bleeding patches. My calves and thighs are also covered in eczema but are also rashy and so itchy.

My boobs are covered and my nipples are in bits.

I have tried Eumovate, no eumovate, protopic, no protopic, constant Cetraben application, less showers, more showers. NOTHING changes it 😭

Last time I went to my GP they said ‘what do you want me to do, you have eczema’ and proceeded to show me a tiny patch on their elbow and said ‘I get a little too but it’s someone you just have to deal with’

My current tube of eumovate has run out and to get more (I can’t just put in a repeat request) I have to call and get a GP appointment again, which I’m almost terrified of now as they are so rude. Idek if it’s worth it anymore???

I’m on a dermatology waiting list but have been for so so so long.

It doesn’t even look as bad in pictures as it is irl. Any advise?
