2. If you have neurodermatitis during pregnancy, you should use as little medication as possible

Experts say that there are a variety of drugs and methods to treat neurodermatitis. If you get the disease during pregnancy, different methods of medication will have different effects on the fetus. The impact of local medication is smaller than that of systemic medication (oral or injection), and Chinese medicine is smaller than Western medicine. Generally speaking, the drugs used to treat this disease are safe.

"But 'all medicines are poisonous'. The probability and degree of the effect of drugs on the fetus are related to factors such as the type, dosage, duration and individual differences of the drugs. With the current scientific level, it is difficult to determine in advance whether the drugs have no effect on the pregnancy or the fetus. Therefore, use medications as cautiously as possible during pregnancy. If they are not necessary, try not to use them. If they can be used locally, do not use them systemically." Dr. Wei Hui reminds pregnant women who have skin problems not to buy or apply medicine on their own, but to consult a professional doctor.

When medication is necessary, you must choose the right one. Taking commonly used antihistamines as an example, chlorpheniramine and cyproheptadine are relatively safer, while the safety of loratadine has not yet been clarified. It is recommended to use it only when it is absolutely necessary during pregnancy. Acupuncture therapy can also be applied, but certain acupoints such as Hegu and Sanyinjiao are prohibited.
