Rash of stomach

Hi.  I am 16 weeks today.  Earlier this evening I noticed a rash on my stomach right under my breast and now it has completly covered my stomach.  Is this normal or should I contact my doctor?  Thank you.

I would call dr for sure. Unless you know the source it should definitely be looked at especially if spreading.

I had a rash all over my stomach a little later in my pregnancy and then ended up getting it again right after delivery.  The rash looked a lot like little white head pimples and itched like crazy.  Not sure it that's what yours is???  Anyway, I was told it's a pregnancy related rash and both times it cleared up on it's own.  Best wishes!

Completely normal.  I had the same thing...it gets worse sometimes during the heat of the summer and as the pregnancy progresses.  You can ask for a topical steriod creme...just ask the doc what is right...in the meanwhile, to control the itch, the thing that really helped me was gold bond medicated powder (green bottle) it had a cooling effect when you applied it.  

Good luck

At 15 weeks i got a rash, bad too. started on legs, went to stomach and then arms, it was PUPPP, a rash cause from pregnancy. your doctor should know what it is. i still have it and im 21 weeks, but 2 weeks ago it started to fade. doctors say i had the worst case they ever seen. they gave me a cream to use and works well but in time. also take showers every other day, stay out of the sun. i use aveeno skin relief body wash(apply with hands not cloth) that help with the itch too. i feel for you and wish you the best, it stinks! the cream is..triamcinolone acetonide cream. you will need a script for it. GOOK LUCK!
