Some pregnant women with itchy body have miliary rashes on their skin, while others have no rash, and no rashes or blisters appear. In some cases, the itching will disappear on its own within a short period of time, while in others, it will continue until the end of pregnancy and disappear quickly after delivery. This is due to the large increase in endogenous estrogen and progesterone produced by the placenta during pregnancy, which causes a disorder in bilirubin excretion and has little effect on the fetus. It is recommended to avoid scratching with your hands, live a regular life, shower frequently, keep your skin clean, and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. To relieve itching, local skin application can be done. The available drugs include glycerin/sodium chloride (compound glycerin) lotion (glycerin, 95% ethanol, distilled water), antipruritic tincture (liquefied phenol, mint, salicylic acid, 75% ethanol added to 100ml), calamine lotion (calamine, zinc oxide, glycerin, calcium hydroxide solution 100ml), etc.
