Suddenly my skin has gone all itchy and i got these small red patches on my arms, never had this before. Im in my first trimester. Just wondering if this is a hormonal thing that happens after conceiving, anyone else faced it?
My doctor said hormonal changes in pregnancy can definitely cause rashes, itching or sensitivity, its quite common. But she also told me if the itching is severe especially on palms and soles, get it checked as it can mean something needing attention. So mild is normal, intense one show to doc.
I had some skin changes early on, little bumps and itchiness. I didnt assume anything and just told my doctor to be safe. Better to mention it at your checkup than worry alone.
Don't get scared, skin acting up after conceiving happens to a lot of us. Keep skin moisturised and avoid harsh products for now. If a rash looks unusual or wont go, just get it looked at calmly.
Some women get it some dont, every body reacts different. I switched to a mild fragrance free soap and moisturiser and that helped my breakouts. If it spreads or troubles you, ask your gynac na.
Yes! I felt my skin go so itchy and red in the first trimester and I didnt know why. Turned out it was hormones playing up. It did settle later but I felt so uncomfortable for a while.
