Very very bad skin itch?

Question

im 26 weeks and for the past month or so my skin is very itchy just around my inner thighs and butt cheeks and some other places but not as bad i scratch so bad that i bring the blood to the surface does anybody know what this is or is it normal

Answer 1

exema. i have it it never goes away it can only be treated by cream that you have to always put on it.. how do you get this cream, you go to a doctor, but a dermintologist is best for skin. .. either that or a sunburn

Answer 2

Talk to your doctor today!  This could signal liver problems!

Answer 3

Just another joy of being pregnant, I used E45 and body shops coco butter which worked quite well. I had it on my thighs and my belly, in the end i resorted to scratching it with a nail brush.

  Sorry i'm not very helpful, I just thought you would like to know you're not alone!

Answer 4

Try using a dry skin moisturizer, like eucerin or E45, I had that kind of itching over my calves and shins, it used to torment me so much I would be crying with sheer irritation, the creams really helped me though.

Answer 5

its probably just because your skin is stretchin thoses are common places to put on weight whilst pregnant

HOWEVER you should tell your midwife to be on the safe side as persistant itching during pregnancy may indicate liver problems
