What factors might be responsible for itching and rashes during the 30th week of pregnancy?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am 30 weeks pregnant and I have been experiencing itching and rashes on my hands and legs since two days. Should I take a tablet of Fexofenadine for allergy? If yes then please suggest the dosage and duration for the course?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern. Firstly, I would like to inform you that, itching during pregnancy is often attributed to a stagnation of liver secretions. I suggest you use histocalamine lotion to alleviate the itching. If the itching persists, I suggest you undergo a liver function test to assess the condition of your liver enzymes. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
