I itch like mad!!!!

[vickib_1984]

So I've had this rash for weeks on my legs and I patch on my arm my mw said it was dermatitis and to use an antihistamine cream to help the itching until James is born however it's now gone onto my belly and it hurts even when I bump it!!!!! I will post a pic to see what you think but I never had this with Thomas and I'm clueless as to what it really is xxxx

 

[vickib_1984]

Hopefully you can see it around the stretch marks xxx

Ouch! Have u been tested for oc? I would go to triage if I were u xx

 

[vickib_1984]

It's driving me absolutely potty Carly!!!! I'm gonna ring for an app at the surgery tomorrow xx

 

[pushca]

I have the same hun. Little spots all over my tummy that itch like mad. For some Eurex cream for it which helps to soothe the itching xxx

 

[BabyBrain]

If antihistamines haven't worked and it's spread then it's not an allergy and you need it checked asap. Your body is obviously reacting with something. I'd ring maternity triage like larly says xxxxxxxxxx

 

[vickib_1984]

Push do you know what it is???? I'm gonna ring now an see what they say xxx

 

[TORino]

I have this too. It's awful

This is what my belly looks like

I was told to not put anything on like bio oil and doc had prescribed me aveeno moisturiser and said come back in 2 weeks if it hasn't gone. 2 ffing weeks of this and I'll be sectioned I think!

 

[vickib_1984]

That's how my legs are!!!!!! The patch on my arm has just cleared up but it drives you nuts doesn't it!!!!!!!! Just spoken to maternity as I'm fine in my self and mw saw it last Friday they just want me to make an app with gp tomorrow :-/ xx

 

[BabyBrain]

Tor that's terrible looks so painful hunny . Aveeno is a good moisturiser but I can't use it cos I'm wheat intolerant and it makes my acne worse

 

[TORino]

It's horrid

I reckon it's that puppp thing but the doc ain't having any of it.

He won't prescribe me any steroid/antihistamines until I'm 37 weeks pregnant either because they cause growth ******ation or something.

Oh my days ladies, wow they look so sore, i think im going to stop complaing now!! Hope u both get sorted asap xxxx

 

[x_larlybelle_x]

Olive had the same sort of thig and I'm sure she was told it was oc xxx

 

[BabyBrain]

I would deffo stay away from anything perfumed including washing powder and conditioner even if they are "natural" perfumes. Essential oils can cause bad reactions as well. Oh you poor things I hope your bumps clear up soon xxxxxxxxx

 

[vickib_1984]

It makes it worse when I have a bath as the water aggravates it as well please hurry up baby xx

 

[TORino]

Yeah baths are agony! It properly sucks hope your LO makes an appearance soon and the rash clears off x

 

[BabyBrain]

You could try putting some vaseline jelly on your bump to keep the water off it in the bath. Aqueous cream is a cream that you can use for washing, it's used for psoriasis and excema as an alternative xxxxxxxx

 

[vickib_1984]

Husband has psoriasis and I've tried using his dermol cream and it helps a bit so stuck to using that xx

 

[Olive]

Olive had the same sort of thig and I'm sure she was told it was oc xxx

Hey ladies,

Mine was PUPPP but it wasn't easy to get a diagnosis...or any sympathy! It was only because I was in hospital for high BP that I managed to get someone to look at it - and even then it was difficult!

Def ask for a blood test to rule out OC though.

I feel for you all because it's bloody torture!!

Pics attached of mine. My stomach was worse, but I didn't take pic as was embarrassed My stretchmarks looked inflammed and purple.
