Can't stop itching!

blythe143

For the past two nights my skin has been unbelievably itchy. Finally this morning at 4AM, I got out of bed and stomped to the bedroom to find some bite looking marks on my legs and arms where the itching is occurring, I've been doing some research and I feel there is a good chance I may have something like Papular Dermatitis. (A welcome thought after thinking I must have bed bugs and after i woke up my husband and made him tear the bed part to look). But now I'm not sure if I need to be contacting my doctor today? Or can I wait till Monday? I may go crazy if I can't get the itch under control. 

 

Has anyone else experienced uncontrollable itch or bumps during their first trimester. I'm only 5 weeks this seems so extreme, I don't know if I should link it to pregnancy or not!

Sounds like Pupps rash. I had it. One in 500 pregnancies.  Good news is that it is completely harmless to your baby so OB's aren't too concerned. You can see a dermatologist for it.  GL!

I am really itchy on my legs, I find that a really hot shower and a really rough loofah/scrubber thing will help. I don't know if it just rips that layer of skin off of what but it helps.
