I have hives on my legs, can i use antihistamine cream? 6 weeks pregnant

See a dermatologist: Antihistamine cream has no effect on hives. Probably you do not have hives limited to your legs. More likely you have skin changes due to scratching. A prescription steroid cream is likely to give relief and is safe during pregnancy.
