Ladies with PUPPS

I didnt even think about PUPPS until I read someones story last night about them. But for the last 3 days now my stomach has increased in itchyness by about 500%. Its horriable itchy to the point where I have to scratch but when I do my skin burns Crying My nails arent sharp and im not scratching hard but any scratching burns! Does it sound like it could be PUPPS?

 I looked it up but didnt see anything but it itches around your stretchmarks, and they dont really know what causes it.

TIA ladies (I do plan on bringing it up tuesday at my doc. appointment. Im hoping for a rash or something so I dont have to keep worrying)

    I have PUPPP. My OB got me a very powerful steroid cream, which kinda works (I only use it when I really need it). Otherwise, ice packs and oatmeal baths are the best thing I've found.

    If it makes you feel better, my rash is almost totally gone and only itches a bit at night now.

    I agree with the ice packs and oatmeal baths!!

     I also make sure to keep my belly nice and moisturized!! I'm talking Aveeno for extra dry itchy skin about 100 times a day!

    If that doesn't work you may want to try some benadryl cream, that works good too if all else fails!
