Rash during pregnancy

Hi girls,
Maybe anybody has the same problem. I started to have a rash that is spreading quickly all over my body now but doesn't itch as much. I read all about pregnancy rashes and it doesn't seem to fit any of the rashes that were discussed. Red spots in groups, some a little bumpy, look like cigarette burns but very small. First I had them on my breasts, but now it spread to my abdomen, thighs, inside arms, back....everywhere!!!
I heard that there is no remedy for it. I used Palmer butter lotion for streach marks, and I thought it was causing it. So I stopped and bought another kind of lotion. Still, the rash is spreading.....
Any advise?

I went to dermatologist and he said it doesn't look like a pregnancy rash, more like a medication rash...anyway, we couldn't rule anything out but he didn't give me any oatment, he said it would hurt the baby...so he said it will spread more!!! and then go away in 2 months...gosh! Anyway, he did blood work for thyroid...really weird staff...

on another note, I had very strong period like cramping for the last two days continuously....really worried, going to have a sono today. I hope the pain goes away cuz I can't do anything.
Have anybody had pains like that>?

Talk to your dr, you may need an antibiotic ointment.  My dd had a similar rash and turned out it was staff infection.  Some rashes will not go away w/o prescription meds.  I would talk to your family dr or your ob ASAP.
