Go to the dr and ask for pinetarsol to put in your bath. Its bright yellow and stinky but works really well.]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:09:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19434&PID=448221&title=folliculitis#448221 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19434&PID=448171&title=folliculitis#448171 Author: Freesia

I had a really bad itch all over my body late in my pregnancy for weeks. My midwife suggested Malcolm Harker - 528 Skin Soothe - Plantain & Pine and it helped a lot. It can be pretty hard to find and is more likely in health shops than pharmacies.

It feels like a cold burn at first and then just feels super cold so really relieves the itch.

Good luck.]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:21:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19434&PID=448171&title=folliculitis#448171 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19434&PID=448163&title=folliculitis#448163 Author: queenbean

There is also a Palmers product (they do the cocoa butter for stretch marks) that is made specifically for itchy skin. A friend used it thru her pregnancy and swore by it!]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:12:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19434&PID=448158&title=folliculitis#448158 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19434&PID=448138&title=folliculitis#448138 Author: VannesaD

Try Aveeno for sensitive skin - can be purchased from any good chemist/pharmacy. I use it for my itchiness and for my daughters eczema. A colleague also used it for her severe pregnancy itch (PUPP) and found it relieved it immensely.

All the best.]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2008 10:46:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19434&PID=448138&title=folliculitis#448138 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19434&PID=448136&title=folliculitis#448136 Author: Redbedrock

Aloe vera gel from the fridge!!
Wasn't a great success, I had a great itch in later pregnancy but it took the edge off for a couple of seconds (sorry minutes)]]> Thu, 24 Jul 2008 10:42:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19434&PID=448136&title=folliculitis#448136 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19434&PID=448109&title=folliculitis#448109 Author: queenbean

Has anyone had this before? And while pregnant? I have had this for the past 2 weeks after using an epilady type thing and the itchy legs are killing me!! My GP prescribed me some hydrocortisone cream which I have since found out is not recommended for use in pregnancy

Does anyone have any safe suggestions for lotions or anything to relieve itchy skin?!!
