I finally have some relief for my itching!

[riotfox]

I've had a rash underneath my bump for a week or so now and it was just so unbelievably itchy. I just couldn't help myself. When I mentioned my itching to my midwife I had some blood tests done and they came back okay but she never said what the rash could be. I started getting the rash on the tops of my legs and on top of my bump so I decided to go to the doctors. He gave me some cream to put on it twice a day. I'm so pleased I have something to put on it now. The doctor said he thought it looked like an allergic reaction but I haven't changed anything. I use Fairy non-bio wash powder and comfort pure fabric conditioner so it can't be that.

Anybody else had a rash on their bump?

I have this!! It started as a little patch of rash in my stretchmarks on my lower bump at about 35 wks. About 4 days after I gave birth it started to spread! It went right across my (ex)bump, tops of my thighes and my inner arms, tops of my feet! It is the most itchy thing in the world and the itchiest part is the palms of my hands and the soles of my feet!! I really hope it clears up for you as you have my complete sympathy! I am still really suffering and it keeps me up alot through the night it gets so bad!

What cream did the doctor give you? Mine wont give me anything as I'm breast feeding, but if it doesn't clear up soon I'm going to have to stop as I can't take it for much longer!

Good luck hun, hope it goes pronto!!! xx

I have had itchy legs but not had a rash or anything. depending on what I'm wearing seems to make it worse even though I wash it all in the same stuff - non bio fairy gel. Jeans and my work trousers irritate it, so I've taken to wearing jogging bottoms and trainers.. not very nice and I feel like a total mink but the relief from the itching is great!

Oh no I thought it was going to go after birth. He gave me hydrocortisone cream and said to put it on twice a day. It must be killing you if you cant put anything on yours. I made my rash red raw this morning as I was washing my bump with my shower puff and couldn't stand the itching so I kept scrubbing the rash with the puff. Ooops! xx

My clothes don't seem to make a difference as I wear my leggings underneath my bump and my dresses flow over my bump so they can't irritate it. I hope your itching doesn't develop into a rash as I started with itching first. xx
