OMG.... please help!

Hey everyone..... I'm 19 weeks tomorrow with my second. A few weeks ago, I noticed a scaly rash developing on my chest and neck. It itches and burns, especially after a shower or when I get too warm. Doc suggested that I apply a cortisone cream which hasn't helped. I've tried Lubriderm and coconut oil as well. It stops the itch temporarily but becomes bothersome again when dry. AND it's starting to spread to my shoulders and back. HELP!

I am, just have to wait the weekend :/ She couldn't really tell me what it was. Said it was too early to be developing pregnancy skin issues. I may have to be referred to a dermatologist.
