Side Rash .. ?!

Hey guys, I'm now 25 weeks. I've had this rash for a while I'll say maybe since 15 weeks or so. I've heard of pregnancy rashes. I continuously forget to show it to my doctor, (hopefully I remember this coming appt). It's red bumps, looks like a heat rash but isn't. At first it kind of looked like little pimples, but not all of them just some. It's just on one side maybe about 15-20 bumps, the other like 4 bumps. It's not too itchy or atleast not to where its unbearable. Just very weird looking and sucks when I wear dresses. I hide it well but constantly have to make sure it's not sticking out. About 5 weeks ago give or take it started going up my arm some what. Does this sound familiar to anyone??

 I read on these boards as well as somewhere else to try things like salt water, but I know thats for itch so it didn't do much. And also watermellon, didn't work. And also to make a paste out of corn starch and witch hazel, also didn't work.

And I also read some "pregnancy rashes" are not cureable just after birth they will be gone. Is this true?!

    I have a rash on my arms and chest.  It sounds exactly the same as yours, doesn't really itch, kind of looks like heat rash or pimples.  The skin around it is kind of red too.  I showed it to my Dr at my last appointment, and she said that its harmles and not really anything can be done about it.  She said it was caused by increased blood flow and hormones.  I've been using my facial cleanser and mosturizer on mine and that has helped some with the redness, but the bumps are still there.
