Did anyone else here get this awful rash? And if so, did you find anything other than steroids that helped with the insane amount of itching??? TIA!

    Not I but I have not heard very pleasant things about the PUPPS rash.  I can't even imagine.  Ouchie. 
    Not sure what direction we are headed. Either way, I am up for the ride.

    I've had it for almost a week now and I feel like I'm about to go crazy! It's like having the chicken pox plus poison ivy, only worse. Definitely sucks!

    I think Sharra had it early on in the first tri.   She may be over on the High Risk board.

    ::uncloaks from lurking::

    I had it when I was pregnant with DS. The only thing that helped me was good ole fashioned calamine lotion. I would also take a benadryl at night to help me sleep.

    My OB prescribed a steroid cream after DS was born (it got worse for me after delivery) but it didn't do a thing.

    I am so sorry. PUPPPS is one of the circles of hell.

    I got it a couple of days after I delivered so I was able to use the steroid cream.  That and Benadryl were my best friends until it cleared up.  It SUCKED though.  Especially because both babies wanted to be cuddled all the time and the rash was on my upper stomach right where they lay.

    I had it after delivery.
    I was given a Rx cream for it but ended up on Prednisone for 6 weeks to get rid of it and I do not wish it on anyone.

    Go see your dr. before it gets worse.
