Im getting some itching and small rashes and someone at home suggested neem leaves paste like we used to do as kids. But im not sure if its okay to put on skin now that im pregnant. Has anyone tried this safely?
I'd be a little careful, skin can become very sensitive in pregnancy and react to things it didn't before. If you have a rash or itching, better to show your gynac or a skin doctor first instead of applying remedies on your own.
Beta neem paani is used in our homes for bathing in summer, externally it's usually fine for skin. But never take it inside, it's strong. Mild use on the body only, and if your skin reacts, stop it.
Applying neem leaves or neem water on the skin for itching or rashes is generally considered mild and okay externally. But please don't eat or drink neem in pregnancy, that part is not advised. For anything on skin, a quick check with your doctor is best.
My grandmother used neem in bath water and it's quite traditional for skin. Externally it's mild, I had no issue. Just keep it simple and if any irritation comes, let your doctor know.
