Postpartum eczema

Is anyone else struggling with their skin? If so have you found anything that helps please, I’m struggling with the outside of my elbows, my shins, between my knees and my hands are particularly bad, putting cream on feels like it is irritating it more, has anyone found anything that has helped please? Especially at night when the itching keeps me awake and is unbearable xx

Cerave moisturiser in a big tub about £15 but so good! Honestly has been a game changer for mine

Also take antihistamines to help with the itching

Thank you

Sounds odd I know but also get such bad eczema on my hands ,especially when anxious (which is all the time since being a new mum )- scratched them to the point of deep cuts- bapanthem nappy ointment has worked wonders , anything else has just made them itch more

Thank you ☺️ yes definitely worse with anxiety! Fully with you on that one
