Crazy skin issues????

Last week I started getting a crazy itchy rash on my boobs that has now spread to the top of my stomach and inner thighs.  Very red and so itchy.  In addition, I have noticed a cluster of broken blood vessels around the base of my neck/d?collet?.  This was definitely not there pre pregnancy.  Anyone else dealing with this or other crazy skin issues?

    Yes...I have never seen my skin in this awful condition before. It's rough, scaly, irritated, not to mention the pores on my legs are HUGE! I have just given up and am hoping it goes back to normal after...otherwise I'll be living at a dermatologists office for the rest of my life! I won't be at the beach anytime soon.

    Sounds like PUPPP. Try some benadryl.

    I have no idea about the broken vessels, but the rash does around like PUPP. I'd try some cortisone cream for relief and make sure to tell your doc.

    Try aveeno for the rash.  I'm not sure Cortaid is allowed, especially over an area that big.

    I have a weird brown patch that is at the base of my neck- maybe 3 by 4.  It has a weird texture- like it's dead skin but I can't get it off.  It's been there for months.  And skin tags- lots on my neck- one big on in my armpit but that guy accidentally got shaved off a few weeks ago.  I'm sure there's something else I'm forgetting.  :-)

    Welcome to my world ladies. I'm on my 4th round of antibiotics and working with a dermatologist with the various skin issues I'm dealing with during my pregnancy. It really really SUCKS and I know how you feel. Thankfully in my case its not PUPPS or other common pregnancy skin issues. I have a history of dermatitis that has been pretty dormant for years but once I got pregnant, all hell broke loose on my skin - blah! On top of dealing with that, I learned that I'm super allergic to lanolin, which most lotions include so I have a special lanolin free lotion I use (CeraVe). Lanolin is also in topical creams so I have to use greasy ointments instead since I have no reactions to that. My dermatitis has been so super sensitive that I can't use any perfumes & dyes so that means all our laundry detergents, soaps, shampoos, beauty products and cleaning supplies have to all be perfume/dye free. As for the rounds of antibiotics, not only is it helping with my dermatitis, I also picked up a staph infection/contact dermatitis around 16/17 weeks and have been dealing with that since. I hope no one has to ever deal with the same crazy skin issues I've had!

    I cannot wait until my pregnancy is over and hormones starts to settle down so I can feel 'normal' again!
