Abstract
Many pregnant women experience skin symptoms caused by immunological, metabolic or other changes that occur in their body during pregnancy. One of the most common complaints of pregnant women is itchy skin. In about 20% of cases, itching in pregnant women is associated with atopic skin lesions. Histologically, these lesions are indistinguishable from atopic dermatitis, which also tends to worsen during pregnancy. It is believed that these lesions are due to increased production of Th2 cytokines (interleukin-4 and -10) in the body of a pregnant woman. Topical glucocorticosteroids and skin care products are best treatments for atopic skin lesions of pregnant women and exacerbation of atopic dermatitis. In cases of limited rashes or mild dermatitis, only care products with a strong moisturizing effect can be used. Using moisturizers can help minimize itching and skin discomfort. One of these agents that we use in practice is XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing cream, the unique formula of which not only has a regenerating and antipruritic effect, but also enhances the natural immunity of the skin.
