Itchy spotty bump?? with pic

[Little Bump]

Any ideas?

I've been a bit itchy all day, but put it down to baby having found the cosiest spot which sticks her bum out in a lump-stretching the skin.

Tonight I've come out in little red spots, and they itch! It's driving me mad. I've not been hot so I can't see how it's heat rash....any ideas??

Apologies about the poor quality, mobile phone pic and artificial light....they're slightly raised, I was just trying to give an idea of the size to you....

I don't have any advice I'm afraid but I'm suffering with a similar sort of thing at the moment - lots of little red pinprick spots which are UBER itchy - I'm putting it down to a heatrash.

It's a pain in the butt huh? Or the bump rather

Is there anything you use to stop the itching? I'm sure I'm making it worse scratch scratching away! I thought maybe a cool bath and some moisturiser for tonight then I'll pick up some aloe gel or something tomorrow??

I haven't put anything on mine really, am trying to grin and bear it! I bet a cold flannel on it would feel nice though, so might try that in a bit!

I have a friend who is suffering with really itchy skin on her bump.. she was diagnosed with sommat called PUPPS - apparantley its a harmless albeit incredibly irritating pregnancy condition. She got some relief from dabbing vinegar of all things on the rashes?! think she's also tried an oatmeal bath (porridge oats in a sock hang under the bath tap) and got some very mild steroid ointment from the doctors.
