XP- red pimple like bumps...

orangegoggles

I woke up this morning with some red bumps on my stomach, back and a little on my upper arms (basically everywhere a t-shirt hits). They are not itching (as of now) and are not on my legs, arms or face.

Not sure what to think of it as I am so early on... I doubt it is a pregnancy symptom. I got a few nasty bug bites this weekend, maybe a reaction?

Obviously I am going to call my ob and/or primary doctor but wanted to know if anyone has experienced something like this? Thanks!

Sounds like it could be hives.  Are you allergic to anything?

Not that I know of...what do hives normally look like? Maybe that is why it is limited to my shirt region....to me they look like bug bites.

I had something that sounds similar! Right around 4 weeks (the day I took my test, actually) I had red bumps on my ankles and calves. The next day they moved up to my thighs and by day three I had some on my trunk. Then they were all gone! They looked like pimples but had a clear liquid in them. Not sure what it was all about.

That is interesting! Maybe it is a hormonal thing.

When I was very early on, during my four week, I had little red pimple like bumps on my thighs...they only showed up for one day and have healed over since. Quite weird!

I had a horrible rash last pregnancy on my entire torso.  I went to the derm 4 times and they continued to give me useless creams to help with the itching-it finally ran its course and went away.  It started as bumps that merged into huge welts.  I wanted to rip my skin off!  I had to work from home naked on the couch with itching cream and wet towels.  They never figured out what it was, but I'm praying for you!

Yikes! Do you remember when it started?

I called my ob and she wanted me to try benadryl and said to make an appointment if it got worse. The next available appointment isnt until Monday so I might try to call my primary.
