rash

Hi! I am 21 weeks pregnant. I have a rash on just my right arm and when I went to the doctor she just told me it was a normal pregnancy rash. What is a "normal pregnancy rash"? Has anyone else had one? P.S. I found out last week I'm having a boy! Yay!

Pregnancy masks or rashes DO happen. I have a little tiny spot on my right shoulder. It almost looks like psoriasis.
Research it and educate yourself so you know what you're dealing with.

Yeah I did do some research about it anyone and there's a rash called Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (puppp). I guess that's what I have? I was just wondering if anyone else has ran into this problem?

Never heard of that. I would get a second opinion and in the mean time research it

Hmm didn't know that. Kind of explains. Why I been having bad itching/rash like symptoms on both arms next to my arm pits.  It's not anything I wear and i haven't changed anything I use. So maybe that's what it is.
