Did/does anyone else have PUPPs?

My tummy has been itching like crazy for about a week now.  I mentioned it to my doctor yesterday and she says I have PUPPs. 

Have any of y'all found anything to help relieve the itch?  So far, the only thing that works for me is refrigerated aloe vera gel, but that only helps for about an hour.

    I developed it with DD#1 around 40w4d pregnant and it worsened and spread the day after she was born.  I was able to take oral steroids and antihistamines because she was outside and I wasn't breastfeeding.

    Ask your doctor about Benedryl lotion, the antihistamine helps.  Cool rags on the area relieve the itchiness as well.

    ice packs, pine tar soap and handfuls of dandelion root pills (3x3 a day) helped me out!
