itchy skin causing hickey like marks??

Mrs.CarlybellaMrs.Carlybella member
in 2nd Trimester

so the underside of my breasts itched, i scratched, then checked it out to see if i had a bite/hive/whatever-  i have a rash/bruise that looks like a hickey.  It is not an actualy rash but my skin is mottled and really a hickey is the best comparison i have.

is this weird? do you think this means stretch marks are on the way down there? or just an increased blood flow thing?

thanks!

    It's probably just from your scratching too hard....I did that to my legs a while back when I wasn't pregnant!

    how big is it - and it's round?  Is it red all throughout or just kind of around the edge?

    may be the starts of ringworn, due to the x-cess moisture under there.

    that was going to be my guess, which is why I asked the questions I did.

    I got the same thing under my breasts during my first trimester. Its from scratching too much! They went away after i stopped and I have no stretch marks yet so dont worry about that! GL

    no  -  it is def like a bruise, not a fungal infection or rash or anything.   It isn't round, but the shape/size of the area i scratched is bruised (not consistent color either but reddish spots just like a hickey.  This morning it is already faded a bit

    thanks ladies

    About two weeks ago, I thought I had this too; it was itchy and I thought it looked like little blood vessels had burst or something, kind of like a hickey. Now, once they've grown a bit, I realize it's stretch marks! I suppose the itching was from the stretching and fast growth, and the "hickey" is now just a stretch mark :( -- my first ones of the pregnancy!
