annoying rashhh

I'm a ftm and I am 7+3 weeks. I have this itchy rash that keeps breaking out on my legs. Is this a symptom of pregnancy?

Oh no, a common rash that you get during pregnancy is called PUPPS! I hope you don't have it, it usually is on your legs, arms, and tummy! Do some research on it, or ask your doctor! I had it, and it was HORRIBLE! I hope it's something different for your sake! There is no real cure for it either, except for delivering the baby :/ but most doctors will give you meds to help with it!

I had a terrible itchy rash on my legs from 12-15+ weeks I was absolutely miserable. Dr said it was "contact dermatitis" which means allergic reaction to something and have me steriod cream but it made it worse so I bought the aveeno oatmeal bath packets and did 30 min soaks in them and used the aveeno lotion it really helped sooth it. Also Try the "hydrocortisone 10 Gel" not the cream

:/ you only get PUPPS when you are pregnant! I would look it up and see if that's what it is! I had it in my stretch marks which was strange, but sure enough they let me know that's what I had.
