Puppp

I have a itchy red rash. The rash first came on my streach marks on my belly then spread to my legs above my knees then on my arms i have been itching for 2 weeks now and I finally went to the local ER and the NP said I have a rash called PUPPP rash. They gave me steriod cream and told me to take Benadryl oraly. Now 3 days after the ER visit the rash is spreading down my legs to my feet and down my arms to my hands. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME IF I CAN STOP THE SPREADING AND GIVE ME MORE INFO ON THIS RASH???

I have it too.... from my knowledge there isn't anything else you can do, but take hydrocortisone cream and benadryl. Mine is on my stomach, chest, neck, back, sides, even in my hair some what. It sucks, but will disappear about a wk after u have the baby.

I also have PUPPP It started about three days ago. So far it is on my stomach, legs and arms. It is the worst part of this pregnancy so far. I cant believe i just have to live with this. Nothing they can do... that is what i hear. I dont know how bad this will get. I try to not scratch... some of the pictures on the internet show this as getting VERY bad. I AM SO SCARED!

I have PUPPP on my belly, back, legs, arms, neck, hands feet, thighs, and buttocks!!! It itches so bad and hurts... I have really sensitive skin and it seems like everything I put on my PUPPPs burns! I think so far the only thing that really helps (for a while) it an Aveeno  oatmeal bath. It has to be warmish though because heat makes the itching worse.

Yeah I find Benadryl doesn't even work for my rash (which I truely believe is PUPPP) I just have a uncaring doctor. She told me just to take Benadryl. But I have tried the Aveeno Oatmeal Bath which is the best thing I've tried (another doctor told me to get it). But omg when I get out of the water the rash looks so much worst.

I can't wait for the itchness to go away.
