Itchy Throat And Dry Skin Patches
Posted: 09-15-05 14:48pm

I have been getting an itchy throat, but its not bad though. I cough to get it to go away.I also have dry patches and they itch.
I just want to know if something is wrong with me or the baby. This is my 5th and never had this before with the other kids.

Is it something to worry about or not

It oculd be pupp, a skin condition that soemtimes occurs when pregnant. My friend had it. Ask your doc about it, cause there are diff things you can use to treat it.

"treatment can involve cortisone creams in the worst cases, but occasionally simple moisturising creams work. So can calamine cream. Long, warm sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) baths can also be relieving. You may need to be treated with oral steroids if the itching becomes intense, but this is not often the case, and is certainly actively avoided. The lesions usually go away after giving birth. Your baby is not affected. "

maybe it;s not this but you never know! Good luck!
