my doctor diagnosed me with PUPPP.

When I went in yesterday I showed her all these bumps I had on my stomach, thighs, calves, and right underneath my bra line that itch like hell. well she tells me I have mild PUPPP and I was like oh ok.. She gave me this prescription for a cream and it helps a little. Not very much though... And I looked online at PUPPP which I don't recommend because some of those pictures are horrible and look so painful and gross... But she's right my case is seriously mild compared to the pictures online. But anyone else have PUPPP and have any suggestions??

I don't have red bumps but for the past few days maybe a week already my chest has been super itchy I try not to scratch and I put oil or lotion on it which helps a little. Any idea why I'm so itchy or if it could be puppp??

Sorry to ask a question on your post, but should I ask my doctor about this when I see her next? I have a few little red bumps on my stretch marks, but they haven't really ever been itchy...

I do I figured it out on my self.the say 70 percent of women who have this are having boys. This is my second bump and I have it on my butt! I read grandpas pine tar soap helps alot and a&d ointment. It's crazy that that it won't go away till we give birth :/ I have 4 Weeks left and want it over with already.
