Itchy skin

Is anyone else experiencing this?  It's mainly the left side of my face...it's so dry and itchy.  My legs are itchy too but the face part is really driving me nuts :(  I am so pale since I can't fry in a tanning bed (when I lived in FL I had to use tanning beds to be able to even go to the beach).......anyone else miss their bronze skin? tear * I can't wait till summer when I can soak up some natural sun!

    My skin became itchy a couple of weeks ago. The latest chapter I read in my book had a section about how your skin is becoming itchy at this point. Mine is mainly my legs and sometimes my stomach.

    My ezcema flares up in the winter, but it's been worse than usual lately because of the pregnancy.  The inside part of my arms/elbows have been itching really bad the past two weeks and I've itched them in my sleep so they look like a hot mess.

    Been having the same issue. It started on my forearms, next it was on my hips and then the backs of my knees. Strangely where I usually have an issue (shins) in the winter hasn't bothered me at all. When I itched there were small bumps that formed. Called the DR. and she told me to stop taking the regular pre-natals and try just taking two Flintstone vitamins a day, yeah, the kids stuff. 

     I also did some reading on-line and they say the itching can be the result of a possible allergy to the folic acid in the vitamins. I have been taking the new kiddie stuff for a few days now and the itching is definitely less intense and subsiding. I am not up 4 times in the middle of the night to put on lotion. 

     BTW, The gold bond with the itch medicine in it (green bottle) works well to help subside as does Eucerin anti-itch. Then I shower with the aveno oatmeal soap. 

     I was also taking two showers a day last week and over the weekend to apply the aveno to stop the itch.
