It looked very similar to pupps rash too. As soon as I got the rash I started googling and thats what it most resembled

I didnt with my 1st pregnancy but with this pregnancy I did around probably 13 weeks. I didnt take any meds just put anti itch cream on and it went away. It was on my hips and stomach and my arms. It was like a prickly rash but it went away on its own after a few weeks

I broke out in hives all over my body and was on benadryl for it. Luckily it was gone within 24 hours but it came on so fast and fierce I was nervous. Dr said they didn't know what it was and that it was just allergic to something but wouldn't see me. I was upset with my Dr but glad it went away quickly

With my first two pregnancies they told me it was pupps a pregnancy rash.. Well I've moved since then an my new Dr who works for the mayo health system said it wasnt pupps but a different type of pregnancy rash.. Its almost like hives.. The Dr has had me on steroids an then benadryl every 4 hours.. Which I take the benadryl but not as he says cuz I have other kids I can't be sleepy all the time
