During this special and expectant period of pregnancy, expectant mothers always hope to give their babies the best, including a healthy environment for growth. However, eczema during pregnancy often comes unexpectedly, causing a lot of trouble for expectant mothers. Especially when eczema breaks the skin, the itching and pain are unbearable. Today, I would like to share with you my friend Xiaoyu's personal experience, as well as how to use five safe medical dressings to relieve symptoms when eczema breaks the skin during pregnancy so that you can wait for delivery with peace of mind.
As Xiaoyu's pregnancy progressed, her skin began to become extremely sensitive, and eczema quietly climbed onto her cheeks and arms. At first, there were only small red spots, but soon they turned into large patches of red spots, which were itchy. She couldn't help scratching, and accidentally scratched her skin. The pain and itching intertwined, which kept her awake at night.
Faced with this situation, she first thought of seeking help from a professional doctor. The doctor told her that although eczema during pregnancy is common, it needs to be handled with extra caution because many drugs may have an impact on the fetus. So the doctor recommended several safe medical dressings to help me relieve the symptoms and protect the damaged skin from infection .
Silicone gel foam dressing
Silicone gel foam dressing was the first medical dressing she used. It is soft and breathable, and can fit closely to the skin to form a protective barrier. Following the doctor's advice, she gently covered the broken skin with the dressing, and instantly felt that the itching was much relieved. In addition, this dressing can absorb exuded fluid, keep the wound dry, and help the wound heal. She changed the dressing once a day, and after a few days, her skin showed obvious improvement.
Second: Calamine lotion
In addition to silicone gel foam dressings, calamine lotion is also a good helper for her eczema during pregnancy. Whenever she feels itchy, she will use a cotton swab to dip an appropriate amount of calamine lotion and gently apply it to the affected area. Calamine lotion has astringent and antipruritic effects, which can quickly relieve the discomfort caused by eczema. Moreover, its ingredients are mild and will not have any effect on the fetus.
The third method: is saline wet compress
For cases of eczema with broken skin and exudation, the doctor also recommended that she use saline for wet compresses. She poured saline on sterile gauze and applied it to the affected area for 10-15 minutes each time. Saline has a cleansing and anti-inflammatory effect, which can help reduce inflammatory reactions and promote wound healing.
The fourth type: is vitamin E cream
After her eczema symptoms gradually eased, she began to use vitamin E cream to moisturize and protect her skin. Vitamin E has an antioxidant effect and can promote the regeneration and repair of skin cells. She applied vitamin E cream once a day in the morning and evening and felt that her skin became softer and more elastic.
Fifth: medical hyaluronic acid dressing
She also tried a medical hyaluronic acid dressing. This dressing is rich in hyaluronic acid, which can deeply moisturize the skin and form a moisturizing barrier. When the dressing is applied to the affected area, the skin feels as if it has drunk enough water, becoming moisturized and shiny. Moreover, hyaluronic acid can promote wound healing, allowing her skin to recover faster.
Looking back on Xiaoyu's experience, I deeply realized that although eczema during pregnancy is annoying, it can be completely controlled as long as it is properly treated and cared for. Through these five safe medical dressings, she not only relieved the discomfort caused by eczema, but also protected the damaged skin from infection. Now, she has successfully passed the pregnancy and welcomed a healthy and lovely baby.
