What Else Can I Try for Eczema in Pregnancy?
Suggestions needed for a 6 months pregnant woman who has eczema on her hand. Tried acv, coconut oil, vaseline but no relief. Thank you.

Dear Lucena,
Is it possible that whatever you are using to wash your hands or dishes is the cause?
Did you have this problem before you were pregnant?
A salve made with comfrey, calendula, and/or plantain may help, if you could find it locally. Or if you would have access to any of those herbs, I could tell you how to make a salve for eczema.

Dear Lucena,
I don't know where they might be available where you live. I get mine from Mountain Rose Herbs, but shipping to you may be high.
Would you have chamomile? It can calm down many skin conditions. It may be available in tea bags in the grocery store. If so, moisten a tea bag and place on the eczema for 20 minutes a couple of times a day.
You might try some castor oil massaged into your hands overnight.
