Hi, My wife is suffering with skin allergy( too much itching). This has started during her 5th month of pregnancy. Recently she has been diagnoised with asthama . Doctor has informed that asthama and skin allergy are linked with each other. He also suggested there is no permanent solution for this. Will there be any solution for skin allergy?
Hi, thanks for using Chat Doctor There are different rashes that can occur in pregnancy and some of these are associated with an itching. Some of these rashes are called : purity of pregnancy, pruritic urticaria pa pules and plaques of pregnancy, pruritic folliculitis of pregnancy. None of these are associated with any problems with the baby and are generally treated with oral antihistamines and topical steroids. Intrahepatic homeostasis is another cause for itching in pregnancy. This is associated with increase in liver function tests. It is treated with antihistamines, some women may require additional medication. In most cases there are no complications though in some rare cases complications may occur. You may want to consider visiting your doctor to determine if she is experiencing one of these pregnancy specific rashes. I hope this helps
