rash on stomach?

sacey21

So I have something that looks like a rash just on belly. It's not raised and not really any itchier than my belly normally is. 

Has anyone experienced this? I don't want to call the on-call doctor if it isn't necessary.

 Thanks.

It could be as simple as a heat rash. I say put some cortisone on it and see what it looks like in the AM.

Oh! You should take your temperature, too. Rashes accompanied by fever can mean a slight infection.

I had a rash and went to the dermatologist and it turned out to be a big deal.  If you can't link it to contact dermatitis or heat rash, I recommend going to a dermatologist (not just your OB).

I have that too. At first I was worried, but then I saw a picture of a "real" rash, and mine is nothing like it. It's just some little red bumps, but it's not really itchy. I'm thinking it's probably no big deal.

with my first pregnancy i got a rash that started out as no big deal and showed my doctor and she said it was pupps which starts to itch like crazy and spread and u cant get rid of it. it does go away when u deliver tho. just some thing u might add to the what if list

thanks. i think i will just stop using the new belly balm i bought from burt's bee's and see if that helps. if not, my doctor appointment is coming up so unless it gets worse, i won't worry!

thanks for your help!!
