Rash?

in May 2012 Moms
Last night I noticed my arms were itching along the sides of the forearm. There were maybe a couple of bumps. Now this morning there's sort of a little rash from my wrists to my elbows. I don't think there's any on my stomach. My weekly appointment is Tuesday. Should I just wait to see if it goes away or improves, or should I call in tomorrow? There hasn't been any new things/fragrances/etc. that would have irritated me. Ugh.

    It is probably Prurigo of Pregnancy or PUPPS (Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy).

    I broke out with little fine bumps- looks like hives and it itches like crazy. Mine are on the top of my hand and a few on my arm. I asked my doctor about it and he said it happens to women late in the pregnancy. You just have to deal with it, it will go away after you deliver. I have been putting anti-itch ointment on mine.

    With PP, I was going to go with PUPPS. But, to be safe, have you taken antibiotics or eaten any new foods recently? I had a sudden onset penicillin allergy. It started like that. Now, I can't even touch it without breaking out into hives.

    I had PUPPS...believe me it only gets worse. I know that's NOT what you wanted to hear. From all of the research I've done, and the Drs I've talked to, I found what works for me. I tried everything...seriously...everything. Oatmeal baths, every anti-itch cream available, rubbing ice everywhere (this helped temporarily), Dr. prescribed steroid creams, should I continue? I think we all get the picture. lol. What ended up working for me was Dandelion Root. I got mine at GNC, but you can find it anywhere. It comes in this nasty little pill, so swallow FAST. What it does is cleans out your liver, therefore clearing up your PUPPS, and actually any rash for that matter. When the liver is working too hard, we get rashes. Dandelion root detoxes your liver, helping your body to naturally get rid of any rash. I take 3 pills at each meal everyday, if you stop taking it, it will come back. Found that out the hard way. Be prepared to pee even more, not that we aren't doing enough of that already, and increase your water intake to help speed things along. I noticed a huge difference in 3-4 days, and in a week and a half, all those annoying bumps were gone :) Good luck hun!

    Yeah I haven't eaten any new foods & I'm allergic to penicillin so I know to stay away from it! :)

    Thanks everyone! I'll talk to my doc Tuesday about it.
