Itchy rash?

MikesGirl22

I am having a really itchy rash the last few days, looks like clusters of bug bites on my chest, belly, and arms. I know its possible to get a rash while pg but Dr. Google said it occurs mainly in the 2nd and 3rd trimester. I go to the Dr on Friday and will mention it to her then. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this?

New foods? Lotions? Soaps? Exposure to pets? Any other symptoms like cough/congestion? I usually try a Benadryl or a little hydrocortisone cream... but if it gets worse or doesn't go away it is likely doctor-appointment worthy! Good luck!

Sounds similar to what I get when I eat a lot of gluten.

Havent tried any new foods. I did try new face wash, but I would think that would give me hives on my face. Its not too bad if I dont scratch it, but as soon as I touch the hives, Whoa, mama! LOL.

Suddenly my wedding band has caused and itchy rash . It almost looks as though it burned into my skin. My doctor said its contact dermatitis and can happen for no reason. Immunity is down while pregnant and she said this could cause it.
