I have a rash on my face!!!

sandylou · July 2010

Yesterday morning around 10 I noticed I had a bunch of little red bumps on my cheeks. I sort of chalked it up to pregnancy hormones, heat and pimples. Today it is spreading down my neck and itchy

I'm trying to decide if I should call my OB or Derm...I think my safe list of meds has benedryl on it. Maybe I will try that first and go from there. It just looks so aweful... MY FACE! AGH!

I've had this rash on my forehead and spreading down my cheeks since about 5w. At this point, I think everyone just assumes I have bad acne. my allergy medicine doesn't do anything for it, hydrocortisone cream does nothing, and I've given up. I'm just hideous that way now.

Oh no!!! =( I feel your pain- I get poison ivy at least once a year and this year I got it on my face and neck...horrible. Try using mint tea bags dipped in cold water, you can put them on your face like a compress...that sometimes helps. Hope it clears up soon!!

Oh no! I'm sorry!! I hope both of our faces clear up very soon!!! I'm sure you are not hideous though!!

Thanks for the tip! It's just embarrassing! The people I work with are looking at me funny.

Do you think it's just acne from the hormones? Mine seemed to pop up over night and then it got worse in the last day. I can't decide if it itches or not. Maybe it is just pregnancy pimples and I'm doomed.

My first pg I broke out in a rash on my arms and under my hair on my head. It can be just another sign of pregnancy.

Thought so at first, because they do kind of look pimply - but they're INSANELY itchy. Maybe I'm just allergic to the Peanut ;p

Mine is kind of itchy. I can't decide if I'm imagining the itch or not. I had an appointment with my dermatologist for Monday scheduled so I will have him check it out...hopefully it will be gone by then! If I get any tips I will let you know!
