So im 8 weeks pregnant with my first and of course everything is scaring the hell out of me!cant stay off google. For the past couple days I've developed a rash on my chest and belly that itches like crazy and seems to he getting worse. Is this normal?
Mrsa doesn't typically itch. Usually when it itches there some sort of allergen or irritant causing it. There's also something called pupps that is usually seen later in pregnancy. I'm dealing with the same type of thing and I have an appt on Tuesday with my dermatologist. Check with your doc and good luck!
Before I knew I was pregnant, I developed a rash and went to the doctor. It was shingles. Your immune system is down during pregnancy and makes you susceptible to colds and other viruses. If it is shingles, they can put you on an anti-viral to help calm things down. Go in if it is getting worse.
Re: 8 weeks pregnant with rash?
Maybe it's normal, maybe it's a flesh eating bacteria. I wouldn't leave that up to Internet strangers to decide though.
