Hello Dr., I am 9 months pregnant now and 4 days ago i had allergies (maybe from food or the changing weather) all over my tummy, arms and legs. My ob gyne gave me 2 medicines - Iterax (taken at night) and cetirizine (in the morning) to be taken for 5 days only. The itchiness lessened but I still i feel itchy esp. at night. I put moisturizer all over my body. When the baby comes out, how do i remove the scars left by these allergies. I m sure my skin would be darker.
The vitamins and calcium a dietary supplements given during pregnancy are reason for this these medicines can be taken safely for long TME if you nee dafter the delivery who you stop all your medicines your skin will slowly come back to original color take plenty of warm water can apply calamine over the skin after delivery you can apply clindamycin gel on the skin and calamine lotion on the skin as local application
