ITCHY!!!

[smjmekg]

WTH is with my itchies??? It's driving me insane! I'm itchy on the back of my arms, my forearms, my calves, the back of my thighs, the top of my stomach, my back....it looks in some places like I have little bug bites, but they're not it's just from me scratching so dang much! Ya know when you shave your legs and you do it too often and get little bumps, that or from a dull razor and you cut yourself in a few little spots where hair is? That's what my legs look like. I thought it may be dry skin, but it doesn't look that way. I thought it may be from a new body wash, but I stopped using it and I'm still itchy. Any advice??? I have hydrocortisone and I don't want to take benadryl. I haven't tried the hydrocortisone yet I just found where I put it, but with how much of me IS itchy I'd go through a tube in three days. (ok I may be over exaggerating on how much I'd use, but I think you get the point.) Anyone else itchy???

*bumping one last time* Just to see if anyone whose awake when I'm not has any advice...trying hydrocortisone and it helps a little, just curious if anyone else has experienced this and what could be causing it...

Anyone else itchy feeling? I've got 9 more days til my appointment, and I feel like I'm gonna scratch my skin off!

I am itchy but I have flea bites LOL... and they are driving me mad. I gotta wait for certain stuff to come thats pregnant woman friendly to do my house over. :@. BUT I always have had an itchy belly button before my cats lovingly caught fleas....I thought it was my belly bar so I put a plastic one in, made it worse so i put my original one in. But OH MY GOSH was it itchy, I dont have a mark but I havee a little lump? My doc said its hormones and stretching, Then I showed her my legs a few weeks later, They Look like they have chicken pox buut they have only bitten my legs, no where else??? LOL...have you tried Eurax (I think thats how its spelt) it releaves itching up to 10 hrs! :) and it works and pregnant woman safe. But speak to your doc before using!! I have to wear gloves to bed or  I will just itch LOL..

It doesn't really LOOK like anything definitely NOT PUPPP. I'm just really itchy, the only reason I have marks on my skin is because of scratching...

google pupp rash on google images and see if thats what it looks like.

[mom2ariana]

it can occur before the last trimester that is just when it is more common.

Not quite in the last trimester, 26 weeks starts Thursday.

[mom2ariana]

how far along are you? it sounds like a pup rash...strong itching and little red marks..it can also cause some insomnia. i'd talk to your ob about it. its common in the last trimester.

The stomach I knew would happen just because of stretching, and it did it with my son, but I don't know if it's the same itchy as the rest of my body or just from stretching...

The top if my tummy is itchy a lot. And then it gets all red and ugly from me scratching but when I put lotion on it usually goes away. So I'd try the hydrocortisone first.
