Pupps relief

Anything to help with the crazy, painful itching? How long does it last after delivery? I am very miserable and go through OTC creams in a day and half since it is now taken over my body!

Re: Pupps relief

  • Dandelion Root Extract and Pine Tar Soap are what I've heard the best reviews of (two things I heard of after I had mine.)  I ended up on oral steriods.

    Here's what worked for me. (and what didn't)

    SORRY :( It's miserable.

  • Dandelion root pills worked temporarily for me but the only thong that really helped was going to my dermatologist and getting an Rx for a topical steroid cream. The cream cleared up 90% of my rash within a week.

  • The only thing that worked for me was either laying on my side to wedge myself in the bathtub of lukewarm water or covering my tummy at all times with a cold washcloth. It was awful but as soon as I delivered it started to subside. Good luck!
  • I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.  I had it for the last 6 weeks of pregnancy and it was HORRIBLE!  The only OTC that worked for me was SARNA, and it didn't suffice so I ended up on oral steroids which cleared it up and kept it at bay till delivery.

    I also tried the puppp relief soap and lotion from www.rainiersoapworks.com.  and would highly recommend.

    good luck!

  • I'm also sorry you have PUPPS. They aren't lying when they say it'll be gone once you give birth.

    I didn't want to do it but it got so bad that I used the steroid cream prescribed by a dermo. Mine was the worst at night so I just put it on before bed on the worst areas; mainly my ankles.

    GL and I hope you get some relief soon.

  • I found Aveno lotion was the only relief I could find for mine.  Everyone is right it is gone after delivery. 
  • Pine tar soap worked for me. I smelled like a campfire for weeks though. I figured for just a few bucks the soap was worth trying and it cleared mine up in about 2 weeks. GL!
