Please do not worry. Effective treatment options are available; however, management depends on the severity and extent of the condition. A detailed medical history is essential for appropriate evaluation and treatment planning.
Kindly schedule an online consultation with a dermatologist for a comprehensive assessment, prescription, and further guidance.”

Hello,
Based on your clinical history and images, this appears to be a Drug-Induced Eczematous / Lichenified Dermatitis resulting in thick, dry plaques.
Are you currently experiencing persistent itching or burning in this area?
Because you are pregnant, self-medicating with strong medicated ointments or chemical peeling agents must be strictly avoided to ensure complete safety for your baby.
Immediate Safe Care at Home:
• Barrier Hydration: If you have itching or dryness, apply a rich moisturizer formulated with Ceramides and Shea Butter twice daily to calm the skin barrier.
• Moisture Lock: Over the moisturizer, layer pure White Petrolatum (Vaseline) at night to prevent moisture loss and soften the rough texture.
• Gentle Wash: Cleanse only with lukewarm water using a soap-free, mild body cleanser. Strictly avoid rubbing or picking the dry skin.
Internal Skin-Diet Connection:
During pregnancy, your body's immune and skin barrier systems require specific anti-inflammatory nutrients and hydration balance to heal such drug-induced flares from within.
Please consult your Gynecologist and a Dermatologist for an in-person evaluation to prescribe pregnancy-safe active topical solutions. If you wish to receive a safe, pregnancy-compatible dietary and holistic skin recovery plan, feel free to book an online consultation.

A long-standing patch like this, present since 2017, often has quiet spells and flares, and early pregnancy hormones can be one trigger for a flare. Self-treating it now, even with a non-medicine option, isn't the safest move until you know it's fine in pregnancy.
Next Steps
A dermatologist visit is the right next step. Tell them you're pregnant so the plan they give you is adjusted for that, and let your obstetrician know about this too so your care stays coordinated.
Health Tips
Please don't start any new remedy, herbal or otherwise, without confirming it's safe in pregnancy. See a doctor sooner if you notice more redness, oozing or pain in the area.
