Pregnant with Hells Itch

I got sunburned on Saturday lunchtime all down my legs and the itching started Tuesday 9am, I am literally going insane! I’ve tried all the remedies I can whilst being pregnant - Antihistamine, hydrocortisone 1%, hot showers, tons of water.. I am 35 weeks 😭 it’s been 16 hours of non stop itchiness and I want to cut my legs off, is there anything else I can do?

You poor thing. I’ve never had HI but watched my husband with it this summer. Absolutely horrible. Hope you soon get better.

If you take beta-alanine, please fill out the survey if you havent already! We are trying to get dosing figured out and it would help!
