Itchy bumps on belly

Yesterday morning I had small red bumps all over my belly. Then it spread to my breast, arms, and thighs. I can't sleep because the itch is unbearable. I just want to scratch my skin off.  I was googling and it sounds like it might be PUPP which seems harmless but doesn't go away until after birth. Of course I'm going to call my doctor but has anyone experienced something similar.

  • I had PUPPS with DS.  very itchy.  I just used gold bond lotion to help with the itch.  I do remember they did blood work to check my liver too

  • I had an allergic reaction to my lotion.  It was lotion I had used before(Palmer's Cocoa Butter), but I guess I shouldn't use during pregnancy. It was so itchy that I couldn't sleep at night.  I am using Lubriderm now because even baby oil was making me break out in hives.  

    If it gets terrible you can go in and they can tell you whether or not it is PUPP or an allergic reaction to something.
