Did anyone have Eczma flair up?!

[brokenbits]

Hi all, I hope to be joining you very soon! Just wondered if anyone had an eczma flair up before they got their BFP?

I have no symptoms except my PMT and sore boobs have gone AWOL! Lol! Oh and I'm weeing every hour today which is a new experience for me!
But my skin on my arms flaired up about a week ago and i'm starting to wonder if it could be related to pregnancy hormones?

Thanks for your time, sorry for gatecrashing

i cant remember if it started flairing up before my BFP but its def worse after getting pregnant. on my 2nd thing of E45 already.

My excema which had FINALLY cleared up completly when I was 28 has returned on my legs and arms I am now 30.. But I have changed my shower gel and I should know better than that by now so I think it is more due to the shower gel than the pg hormones!

I know that being itchy is related to pregnancy so maybe it has something to do with it

I have a flare up of eczema on my face which I haven't had since I was 8 years old... started around 7wks.. and only just starting to heal a little now. Didn't have it before BFP though.

E45 and sudocrem made it worse, best thing I've found is plastering on vaseline before bed. All other eczema creams are steriod based and can't be used in pregnancy

Thank you all very much, I guess as I have no other real symptoms i'm trying to find something to cling on to!!! lol. Will know by the end of the week with any luck

I have it all over my legs. I seem to get it alot more when i'm pregnant. Plus it is winter over here so that doesnt help.

my eczema has been ok for couple of years and bang overnight went haywire. have never had it on my face but omg i have now aswell as my arms and knees.
its all the hormones and skin changes fromt he pregnancy.
without my e45 cream i would look a complete state.

I cant remember if i flaired up just before i got my bfp, but mine used to be terriable, but after i got my bfp, i havent had it

I can't remember if it got worse right before I got my BFP, but it's HORRIBLE right now!!!!

Oh wow I didn't realize other people were getting this too.

The other day I noticed some bumps and stuff on my hands (never had eczma before). Went to the clinic and they gave me a cream which seems to be helping but need to use it sparingly. In the meantime, I'm using some regular hand cream which seems to be helping a great deal.
