i got nasty itchy skin last time, not the normal places liek growing boobs and tummy but flippin everywhere to the point i used to wake up with bleeding scratch marks on my thighs, calfs, inner arms etc... keep an eye on it later on and maybe get tested for colostasis, doctor prescribed me a cortisone cream, didnt help heaps cos it was so bad but it might be ok for general itching if it isnt out of control]]> Tue, 29 Dec 2009 22:00:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30678&PID=880883&title=itching-all-over#880883 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30678&PID=880868&title=itching-all-over#880868 Author: Roses are Red

I started getting really itchy flaky skin about 18 weeks and I was reccommended Alpha Keri oil all over after a shower or in a bath, I found it worked well and when I brought it I got a cleanser free and that was really good on exfoliating gloves for the itch too.]]> Tue, 29 Dec 2009 21:47:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30678&PID=880868&title=itching-all-over#880868 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30678&PID=880638&title=itching-all-over#880638 Author: AzzaNZ

thanks for the ideas - about to hop into a bath with some baking soda and then slather myself in body butter. Hope it helps even a little]]> Tue, 29 Dec 2009 19:47:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30678&PID=880638&title=itching-all-over#880638 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30678&PID=880494&title=itching-all-over#880494 Author: gossamer

Ive been itchy all over for most of my pregnancy too, its still bad now, and nothing is really helping, I got some safe meds from the doctor but they didnt even help so it wasnt even worth it! Cold flannels on the skin can help but then if you move them around they can irritate it too. I can almost think of nothing worse that constantly itchy skin its driving me mad!]]> Tue, 29 Dec 2009 17:59:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30678&PID=880494&title=itching-all-over#880494 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30678&PID=880068&title=itching-all-over#880068 Author: MissAngel

Oh Azza, not comfy hey hun. I developed really bad dry skin and my hairdresser actually put me onto a Redken dandruff shampoo which has helped. Face moisturiser I had to switch out to Nivea Soft - needed something with lots of moisture in it (bonus is its really cheap). Body - well I have found the best way is a good quality body butter over everything in the morning , normal body lotion as needed through the day, then at night a bath with - sorry can't remember what its called, but its an excema soak in a sachet (you get it from the pharmacy), and then when you hope out absolutely coat yourself in almond oil, then rug up and head to bed. If your feet are splitting like mine have been doing get onto some eulactol.

Does anyone know what I can safely use to stop itching?

I'm itching from the top of my head right down to my toes. Battling not to scratch

I've used moisturiser but it isnt helping.]]> Tue, 29 Dec 2009 08:26:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30678&PID=879938&title=itching-all-over#879938
