Itchy and Red can anyone help?

I m 24 weeks and about a month ago I started getting a red bumpy rash on the back of my shoulders, I had it checked bu my family doctor who said it would clear up in the next few days. But in the last few weeks it has spread along my chest, down my back and patches on my neck and face. I have been unable to find out what it may be and the itching and sight of it is driving me nuts. Anyone have any ideas?

  • There are a lot of things it could be.  I had a rash that my OB had to get me to a dermatologist, but it doesn't sound similar at all.

  • With where is it located, have you switched shampoos or hair products of any kind? Have you washed all new bras and new clothes before wearing them (manufacturers spray chemicals on clothes before shipping)?

    Does taking a Benedryl affect the rash at all? Have you tried cortisone cream? Aloe?

    Welcome and Congrats!

    I would call your family doctor back and speak directly with the doctor or nurse and tell them that the rash he said would clear up has become worse and spread to other areas. 

    They are going to be of greater help to you than I am... I lack a medical degree or other formal medical training.
