Eczema is a very common skin disease. Generally, when suffering from eczema, not only will there be rashes on the skin, but there will also be obvious itching symptoms. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, most women will experience edema symptoms, especially in the lower limbs where edema is most pronounced. So, can edema in pregnant women cause eczema?
Swelling during pregnancy does not cause eczema in women. Pregnant women with eczema may be caused by genetic factors, and prolonged exposure to adverse environments may also lead to eczema. Edema is a common symptom during pregnancy and does not cause any skin diseases.
If a pregnant woman develops eczema, it may also be caused by infectious factors. There are many types of eczema, some of which may be caused by microbial infections, such as Malassezia, Mycoplasma, and Penicillium. If pregnant women are infected with the above-mentioned microorganisms, they are prone to developing eczema.
Pregnant women who suffer from eczema should try to use topical medications for treatment, as pregnancy is a special period and medication cannot be used arbitrarily. Pregnant women need to ask a doctor to prescribe medication and use it according to the doctor's advice. During the treatment of eczema, it is also necessary to pay attention to care, such as avoiding the affected area from being exposed to sunlight, and not using hot water when cleaning. In addition, pregnant women should wear pure cotton underwear. If they wear synthetic underwear, it may stimulate the affected area and make the itching symptoms more severe.
