Postpartum PUPPS

Hey everyone. So I developed pupps on my stomach about 2 weeks pp and my Dr gave me a prescription cortisone cream and doesn't help a whole lot. I'm now 7 weeks and it's moved to my thighs and arms. I've googled different treatments but there's so many different suggestions so I was wondering if any of you have found any relief somehow. For the record I'm not breastfeeding and I'm on the pill again which doesn't seem to help as people suggest.

    I used Benadryl gel, and aveeno shower gel. The stress relief one. I also showered twice a day, morning and evening. I hope you find relief soon!

    I used Claritin and a soap called Grandpa's pine tar soap. I used the soap once or twice a day. The rash covered my arms, legs and belly and went away about 1 week after this regimen. Good luck!!

    I had this with both my pregnancies. Took prednisone (an oral steroid) both times. I took it much earlier with this pregnancy and it was not nearly as bad. I also had it post-partum which is somewhat atypical. I would recommend discussing this with your doctor.

    I used Averno calming cream and wash and made the water cold in my shower, also would use Aloe gel for relief. Good luck!

    The only thing that helped me was Solarcaine with lidocaine. Had mine for 5 weeks.
