Pregnancy rashes? Help?

[BKNY_BOSS]

Hi guys I'm suffering from sever pregnancy rash on my left butt cheek and my left thigh front and back.  It's just that one place where I am constantly itching and I just want to scratch so hard,  it's been a week since this rash is there and it just itches all the time,  every sec.  Are these rashes normal and does anyone have any advice on how to ease the rash or itch.

Try not to scratch it that can make any rash worse and can make some rashes spread.

Nope no blistering so far but I been scratching for a week and it's just very red.  And it's just that area that is itching.  I tried aloe gel and that helped alot.  The itching went down alot but if it continues I will definitely talk to me mid wife.  It's very unbearable at times

Is it blistering?

I'd try coconut oil too. But if the itching is *that* bad you should be referred to a dermatologist. I'd see if your ob can do this ASAP so you can get some relief. Urgent care centers may also be able to see you if it's unbearable.

I actually am having a baby boy. And my doc said to put aleo vera on.  She said if it spreads to the feet let her know buy the itching is unbearable

Definitely go to doc on that one but there are screams that can help, oatmeal paste on the rash, plain lotion. Depends on what is causing it.

I've heard rashes can come from the high testosterone in your body from your baby boy that you can be allergic to. Im not sure what it could be. I'd ask your doctor..

Are you having a boy or a girl?

Have you asked your doctor or midwife to take a look? Dry itchy skin is normal and pregnancy, and so is heightened allergic reaction that can cause rashes and hives, but there are also more serious rashes associated with pregnancy so it's a good idea to have it looked at if it's severe.
