So the rash was...

yup, you ladies were right it's PUPPS. It's not severe it's only on the top of my belly. But boy does it itch..ugh!!!

When I take warm shower the rash acts up and itches like crazy and also when I'm outside in the florida heat!! The only thing that relieves it is a cold bottle of water on my belly or ice.

Luckily, I took my maternity pictures yesterday, laying on the grass though didn't help the rash or the heat. But beides that we had a great time taking the pics.

Hopefully the rash goes away soon and does not spread any where else or gets worse. ((scratch,,scratch))

    Ugh, no bueno! Good luck with it, did they give you any medicated creams or anything? Hopefully you find something that helps with the itchiness, if nothing else.

    BTW, absolutely love your wedding photo! :-)

    I had PUPPPS with DD1 and it was not awesome. I had it on my arms, legs and belly. Nothing helped except for birthing my baby.

    I have pupps too. It's all over my stomach, arms and legs. Benadryl cream works well for me. Also palmers vitamin e oil in my shower. Don't take hot showers. Also I will put ice in a bag on my rashes for relief. Also if you are out in the heat put a little baby powder on to keep the area from getting sweaty.

    ctygrlstl: the DR said I can put cortizone cream on the rash that it should help. Thanks the picture was taken at our wedding des. in St Thomas.

    I have PUPPS as well and I want to spread the word about Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap. It's all natural, doesn't smell the greatest and can be found at Whole Foods or natural food type stores. It has helped me tremendously, no itchiness and rash is pretty much gone. I had it all over my belly, my arms, and some on my thighs. Seriously PUPP girls, try it!

    I also have PUPPs and I found that dandelion root and apis mellifica taken orally helped a ton.  I did Gold Bond creme for the spot treatment of areas that were super itchy (my legs and my stomach in particular).  Good luck and I hope the itch subsides soon!!
