4. Avoid a home environment that is too humid

According to TCM theory, dampness is a yin evil that is heavy and turbid in nature and flows downward, lingering and sticky.

To prevent eczema during pregnancy, you must start with your daily life and maintain appropriate indoor temperature and humidity. Bed sheets, quilt covers, and pillowcases should be changed and washed frequently to keep them clean to prevent the home environment from being too humid, which may lead to the breeding of bacteria and viruses and cause the occurrence and aggravation of eczema in pregnant women.
