Itchy All Over

Hi folks - I think someone may have posted something similar to this and if so I apologize for duplication, but starting yesterday I've been just well, itchy. Started on my stomach and I got maybe 5 red bumps that looked kind of like pimples - but then it eased up. Then last night I couldn't get comfortable and was itchy all around the bikini line, lower abdomen area - and I haven't shaved there recently) and finally ended up sleeping almost nude and that helped. Today I seemed fine then maybe an hour ago I got itchy again and am itchy all over my chest, some on my stomach and all over my back. I looked and hard to tell if redness is rash or just me scratching - but noticed a few bumps - white - like maybe small hives - never had hives, so don't know - but they seem to go away if I'm not scratching there.

I'm not itchy on hands or feet or legs or arms. Gonna call the doctor in the a.m., just to be sure - but anyone experienced this?

Re: Itchy All Over

  • I started getting a patchy rash on my tummy. I looked it up when I was concerned, something called PUPP came up. This isn't what I had, but maybe you do?

    I put coconut oil on every ailment known to man...I'm THAT girl. It helped me with the itch. Id call the doctor in the am like you planned, but in the mean time, try an anti-itch cream if it's safe.

  • Thanks folks. Thinking it may be PUPPS, but one never knows. I'm headed to the doctor today for a 3:30pm appt to see one of the midwives and be evaluated. So we'll see what it is. I know they can prescribe some creams, etc...and hopefully that will help - if PUPPS is what I have. I also read that Pine Tar Soap, Oatmeal Soap and Oatmeal lotion help, so may be buying those too. Will hope for the best :)
