? About PUPPs

Does PUPPs only occur in the stomach? I did a google search on it and found an article that said it was only found on the stomach so I just wanted to verify with the ladies who have it or know more about it. Also I read that it typical starts around 35 weeks- true or false?

I woke up with a little rash on my leg this morning and wasn't sure if it is just a random rash.

    I have full-blown pupps.  It is AWFUL!!!!  It's all over my belly and has spread to my inner thighs.  The doctor said there's not much I can do, but it goes away after delivery.  Yay!

    All I know is the PUPPS is the most common of 6 pregnancy rashes. I had a really bad rash with DD that was not PUPPS, but it started on my upper thighs and then spread only in my stretch marks (everywhere they were). Eventually I had patches under my arms and in other places as well. It kind of looked like patches of poison ivy or hives in some spots.

    It could be anything... pregnancy rash, skin irritation. If it gets worse have the doctor take a look. Until then, gold bond powder works good to take the itch out. Hope it gets better for you!!!

    I got it starting about 30 weeks...And it was TERRIBLE! It started on my belly, but spread ALL OVER! I had it on my arms, belly, thighs and feet. There is a soap called Grandpa's Pine Tar soap, and it helped to take the itch out for a little bit. I ended up on steroids because it was so severe. After the 10 days on the steroids, the rash has diminished some, but my arms and tummy still itch alot.
