I had never heard of that, so I just looked it up. The name
immediately made me think of cute little puppies (I know, I'm silly)... nothing cute about
PUPPP! The last thing I need when I'm pregnant is an incredibly itchy
rash all over! Why are there so many crazy pregnancy symptoms? I'm
adding that to the list of conditions I hope I never develop.
Yes, I have this and am soooo ittchy! I woke up scratching last night and had to take a benadryl. My OB looked at it Thursday and said it's too early for PUPPS. He referred me to a dermatolgist, and recommended benadryl and benadryl cream - he said not to use a cortisone cream in first tri. I am really suffering though, especially at night. I'm going to try and see a dermatologist asap.

I had something like this all over my legs for about 2 weeks. It wasn't PUPPS because it's too early and didn't start on my stomach. In the end I decided it was pregnancy induced eczema. I used benadryl cream. But the main thing was my bumps were dry and itchy. So in the end what fixed them was using Johnsons and Johnsons baby oil with shea and cocoa butter at least 2x a day. It helped sooo much. And now the bumps are all gone and my legs no longer itch. I hope yours isn't PUPPS and it goes away soon too!
Re: heat rash-looking bumps all over.. anyone?

I hope you get some relief.Could your skin just be sensitive to your detergent? Maybe you need to use a Tide Free kind of a thing while you are pregnant?
