Itchy skin and scalp

Watergirl21

Any solutions for itchy winter skin and scalp I heard this is common in pregnancy. It's pretty cold and dry here these days and my skin is driving me crazy... Anyone else have this problem. I am 27 weeks

One of my first pregnancy symptoms was itchy feet.  Now even though the weather is more dry, I am not as itchy.

I am using Burt's Bees for extreme dry skin as nothing else worked for me

Eucerin works really well - the cream in the tub, not the squeeze lotion.  It is very thick and a little greasy, though so I only use it at night.

Cerave lotion is amazing. Not chesp, though. We use it for my daughter's eczema, but I sneak some for myself whenmy skin is really dry

I wish I had an answer. My legs get so dry and itchy at night that it almost makes me want to cry because I can't get to sleep.

I'm going to try some of the lotion the other ladies suggested.

I tried this ave I for dry skin cream it has oatmeal, Shea butter, and menthol? Great for the skin but I need a plan for the itchy scalp... Driving me nuts!!!

you could try a dandruff shampoo for the itchy scalp.

My scalp is always horrible, and most dandruff shampoos make it worse.

I try to only wash my hair every other day in the winter. And I use scalp benefits from aveda. I also barely use styling products.

I use calming cream by eucerin daily and aquaphor once or twice a week. And daily on my hands. My skin is happy these days!

This is EXACTLY what my doctor told me to buy.  It has helped me SO MUCH!  As for the itchy scalp....I have gone to washing my hair every other day (rather then every day) and that has helped a lot.

Put the eucarin or cerave on your scalp just a little bit. Trust me I was losing my mind with itchiness with DS.

I use a cream, not a lotion on my skin, and I often pour apple cider vinegar over my scalp when I'm done shampooing it, and I leave it in.  It has helped some of the itch.  Just don't get it in your eyes!
