itchi rash...

I'm 10 weeks but a week after I found out I was pregnant I developed this rash with a lot of bumps, it's really itchi I tried benadryl and it did not work. And top it off it spread all over my back, chest, arms and now my neck and forehead. Has this happened to anyone?? Sorry for the long post.

I have had excema and stress makes it worse so quick.... stop stressing:)
Also, my dermatologist said to use Vaseline. Put it on knees, legs and elbows too as those can break out easily.
Try and only shower in warm water, not hot and don't shower every day.
Check with your ob but light therapy cleared me all up. You go into the tanning tube for 30 seconds at the Drs office and it disappeared.
Sorry you're having to deal with this. I hated it. Also drink water. I never drink enough water but when I drank more it helped.

Thank you ladies!! This had never happened before, it is my second pregnancy and so far it's been all bad the complete opposite from my first one. Sometimes I just want to cry.

I had this when I was around 7 wks... It was awful! I thought I was the only one. I used an anti itch spray for a week and tried not to scratch it and it went away. I hope urs goes away soon, good luck!

I haven't had eczema since i was a kid. The other day i woke to find i had a little patch on my middle finger. So random... i scratch in my sleep which irritates it but thankfully i only have a small spot of it. I used to used an oatmeal cream when i was a kid. Hope your itches subside ladies!

I got the save thing on my wrist abd forearms. Doctor said its eczema, which is not uncommon during pregnancy.  I use Eucerin or hydrocortisone to help. Keep it moisturized! Ask your doctor if its eczema
