I am prone to eczema and sensitive/ irritable skin, itching eyes etc from time to time which has been worse since living in HK. Since being pregnant (now 24 weeks)my skin has become soooooooo damn itchy and highly sensitive, esp. hands and face ...have tried the cool showers/ polytar type moisturisers/ lather myself in emoilient creams / don't use soap / continue to use a low does steroid cream on hands neck etc. My OB said it was fine to take a low dose antihistamine, can anyone suggest one available here in HK.
THANKS!

CMT or CTM (sorry, I forgot) is acceptable for pregnancy, although it knocks you out - so I only took it at night and slept really well but woke up with a dry mouth.
Ask your OBGYN here.

I suffered really bad hayfever back in UK over the summer I was pregnant. Piriton is allowed during pregnancy but I think the dosage allowed is low (prob up to 3 little tablets a day). I just took them when I absolutely had to. Ask your Doctor as my Doctor was the one who told me what I could take. Piriton is available in Mannings and Watsons.
My baby was born fine - I would take Piriton again if I had to.

I took Polaramine and Claratyne when I was pregnant and it helped ease alot of discomfort I had with my allergies. But as always, check with your OB/GYN first before you take any type of medication. Good luck!
