PuPPS

Yes, As I write this I too am suffering from this horrible rash (PUPPS). It can really take over your life it seems as if it has for me. I lose sleep at night, i have scratched myself to the point that i bleed. its very uncomfortable. It began on my belly around my navel and after a few days it SPREADED every where buttocks, back, thighs, behind my legs, and arms my arms are the worst part as of now i went to my DR. and he told me that there wasnt much he could do as of now with me begin Preggo but he prescribed me Benadryl and told me to get calmine lotion and that is okay but NOTHING takes the itch away. I Pray at night that i'm able to get sleep due to the itch its always impossible. I must say that it has tried to clear up since i've been on the meds and praying about it. I wish there was a explanation as to why this is happing to me and all the other Women affected by this Horrible rash.
