Postpartum 'PUPPS'!?

I am 10weeks post (amazing) baby and I suddenly developed this PUPPS rash about 2 weeks ago- of course none of the 3 doctors knows anything about it and the steroid cream I was prescribed does nothing, so I have accepted my fate. I will be covered head to toe with this horrible itchy welty rash!
But my question is how long does it last? What's the best remedy? I have black pine tar soap and dandelion root tea so far.
Please tell me I'm not alone!!!
Thanks

  • I had it post partum with both my kids. Didn't get better until I took oral prednisone both times. Nothing topical seems to work. Ice packs are soothing I found. Good luck! PUPPS is no fun!
  • Oddly, Claritin worked for me!
