What does pregnancy eczema look like?

I have just started getting these dry, itchy red bumps on my wrists and neck in my second trimester. Is this what pregnancy eczema looks like? Does it go away on its own after delivery, or do we need special creams?

Agree with everyone. It looks like dry, red, itchy patches, and keeping the skin well-hydrated with a mild moisturizer helps a lot.

I totally get it, dealing with constant skin itching when you are already dealing with pregnancy fatigue is so frustrating. It usually looks like dry, scaly, reddish patches that burn when you touch them. Please use a gentle, fragrance-free lotion to soothe it.

I remember crying in front of the mirror because the red, flaky patches on my face and arms looked so bad and wouldn't stop itching. It really made me feel so down during my pregnancy. It's totally okay to feel upset about it, just remember it is temporary and treatable.

It looks like red, dry, rough skin that becomes very scratchy and sometimes peels like dry winter skin. Applying a little pure virgin coconut oil can give comfort and cool the burning. But do show it to your doctor when you go for your regular checkup.

It looks like dry, red patches that itch a lot, ho na. Especially on the folds of the skin like elbows and behind knees. Just apply a simple, safe cold cream and don't scratch it too hard.

It typically presents as raised, red, dry patches that are intensely itchy, often in the creases of your skin. Don't waste time trying basic home remedies if it spreads. Go straight to a dermatologist and get a safe, pregnancy-approved ointment prescribed.
