Rash or Stretch Marks?

edited December 2013 in June 2014 Moms
Hi Ladies, So I thought I was developing a rash on my side (beginning Sat morning), I spent half my day on Wed in Urgent Care because my OB or Family dr could not fit me in. He Dr said it was an allergic reaction to my body butter (which I stopped using on Sat when I noticed the rash). Well this afternoon it was really itchy, before itching I went and checked it out and found that it had spread across my stomach...in what look to be small stretch marks. So now I'm curious what you ladies think...rash or stretch marks...thank you in advance!!

  • Looks like stretch marks. Are you a FTM? Mine itched like crazy with my first pregnancy and it felt like my skin was being torn to shreds.

    Yes I am FTM...I have a bit of a tummy (not baby lol) and haven't gained a pound. I also thought it was way too early for them :( guess I should sit back and enjoy the ride lol

  • Any time I have used a body oil this pregnancy or my first, my skin was very itchy and I got a rash like that. It didn't turn into stretch marks but I guess it could. I stopped using the oil right away and put an ice pack wrapped in a towel around wherever it itched. You could try taking some Benadryl if its really bad. After I switched to a different lotion it went away. Hope that helps and it gets better soon!
  • I do see a few red bumps that look rashy, but overall I see stretch marks. I had assumed you scratched.
  • Could be: PUPPS, heat rash, or yeast
  • They say extra virgin olive oil is the least likely of all oil to develop an allergy to. I'd shower with plain castille soap (no perfumes etc) and lather on olive oil. Wait and see.
