Does eczema affect pregnancy?

Under normal circumstances, eczema will not affect pregnancy, but eczema, which is generally contagious, may still affect the fetus. Therefore, if symptoms of eczema appear during pregnancy, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment and control the eczema in time to avoid harming the development of the fetus. The best way to treat eczema is to apply ointment, which has little impact on the development of the fetus and does not require the pregnant woman's diet.

First of all, we all know that after pregnancy, a woman’s body is used by two people. Because the fetus is in the woman's body, all nutrients are provided by the mother. In other words, the fetus absorbs what the mother eats. Similarly, if the mother takes medicine or gets an injection, these drugs can be indirectly passed to the fetus, and the baby's physical development will definitely be affected.

On the surface, eczema is not contagious, so even if a woman is pregnant when she suffers from eczema, or if she develops eczema during pregnancy, it is fine. Although eczema is a skin disease, these diseases are related to the individual's physical constitution and are independent. In other words, a woman can get pregnant even if she has eczema, or she may still get eczema even if she is pregnant.

However, pregnant women should not come into contact with ointments and western medicines for treating eczema. If the eczema is not serious, it can return to normal even without special treatment. Moreover, for the healthy development of the fetus, even if eczema can be treated with medication or injections, it is not necessary to take medication or injections. Of course, if the eczema is very serious, you need to go to the hospital to see a doctor, and let the doctor decide how to treat the eczema.

So, can you get pregnant if you have eczema? The answer is not necessarily. Normally, if the eczema is not severe, then pregnancy is possible with eczema. Don’t worry that the mother’s eczema will be transmitted to the baby. Eczema is not contagious and will not be transmitted between mother and baby. If the eczema is very severe and the woman has taken medicine to treat the eczema, or the woman has come into contact with the ointment with her hands, then in this case, she cannot get pregnant.
