Luke warm/cool baths helped a wee bit for me. Everything always seemed to help for an hour or so and then I was back to square one. I hope you don't have too much longer!

I did a bunch of research and a&d ointment is taking the itch away which I'm so happy about. I just want it GONE and never to come back lol

I had pupps really bad with my first. They were AWFUL!! Everything that was recommended to me did nothing to help. My dr eventually prescribed me a special lotion compound to use that was safe for me and my son. Eventually I was induced at 37+6 because of them. I feel for you! Good news is that I'm on baby #2 and no pupps this time!
