PUPPS???

So ive been getting rash on my breasts and it gets super itchy and red almost like I have little blood blisters just like tons and tons.. it itches sooo bad. Well my mother told me thats is PUPPS, a rash 1 in 200 woman get durring pregnancy. She said she had it while pregnant with my little brother. I did some research and it says that in mostly all cases you develope pupps if your havibg a boy, they say they dont know forsure but it might have something to do with the male DNA causing a reaction with the mothers body.

Im curious to know if anyone else has had or has pupps?

I have pupps. I saw a dermatologist when it was really bad. For the worst of the itching, the only thing that helped the itch was putting lotion or creme with menthol in it. The burn makes the itch go away for a while. Good luck momma. It sucks

Thank you mama!! Do you know if you got a boy or girl?

I had twins to start with but lost one at 13 weeks. Now I have one left and she's a girl. Strange thing is that the pupps got better when the one twin went away. Now it's mild.

*lurker* I had pupps with my first it was awful! Aloe Vera gel helped me immensely and the worst symptoms only lasted a couple weeks. My skin was red til I delivered. She's a girl btw

I developed pupps with my first born son, it started about 30 weeks and the only thing that helped was to refrigerate some Aloe for sunburn and apply it in the real itchy places. I also would put an ice pack on at night after a nice oatmeal soak and applied lotion on. My doctor said the only cure was delivery. Literally an hour after delivery it was gone!
