TIRED OF THIS RASH

[Margeroqz]

I BURSTED with a Rash that looks like allergy and is spreading all over my body: mainly located on my breast, chest, and spreading to belly and back. I have tried hydrocortisone 2.5% and benadryl. I've used oatmeal and that seems to calm it down a bit, but it has become frustrating. I'm currently 16 weeks today and I got this las Monday or so. Has anyone else also experienced this type of rash so early in pregnancy. I looked online and asked a friend midwife and she stated it might be PUPP Rash but she also said it was too earl for that.

Does anyone have advise and/or has anyone got a PUPP RASH so early in pregnancy? And if so, what helped with the itchiness and discomfort of it.

You could try laying on a damp/cool towel??

I get a lot of heat rashes because my body gets very hot lately. Try sleeping with a lighter blanket or a sheet instead of a blanket for a couple days and see if that makes any difference.

My first pregnancy, I got patches of rashes on the side of my hips and down my leg, my Dr said it was from laying on them. When I asked how to get rid of them, and some other reason too don't remember, he said "It will go away after the baby is born" =/  They itched like crazy! I used cortizone but it really didn't seem to give me much relief. And went away right after delivery

It could also be shingles

No I didn't do any of that. I stopped dying my hair two months before I found out I was pregnant! :( what did you do to calm the itch? Anything would help its driving me crazy

Early in my pregnancy before I knew I was pregnant I got a rash that went all over my body my legs my arms my stomach and back. It was so itchy that I couldn't stop scratching it and that made it spread all over like that. I searched online and decided it was hives but I hadn't ate or done anything different I did however relax my hair the day before I broke out. I read if you put chemicals in your hair while being pregnant the hormones in your body can cause an allergic reaction not sure if this has happened to you or not
