I saw a lady today who is 36 weeks pregnant and she has given me 
permission to post. This is her fourth baby and she breastfed all of the 
previous three very successfully. About 8 weeks ago she developed severe 
eczema, starting on her hands. She is a hairdresser and leaving her job 
has resulted in some relief from the symptoms. However, her concern is 
that she has the eczema on her nipples, she has been advised by her skin 
specialist that she can't use any topical steroids at all while she is 
pregnant. I have done a search of the archives but there appears to be no 
recent discussion of this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions I can 
pass onto this desperate mum? Thanking you in advance,
Margaret Wendt CN RM IBCLC Queensland Australia
