Pupps Rash

Unfortunately my suspicions were correct, Pupps Rash it is. I've been extremely itching for a while now and my Dr seemed to blow off my concerns for the last two visits saying it was normal irritation due to skin stretching. I understood that part, but I just knew there was more to it. I was waking up at night scratching and scratching until I'd have little scabs :( My dermatologist appointment was today finally and she confirmed and as of yesterday it's spread to my legs and arms. It's not as horrible as the pictures on Google, but definitely a pain in the butt. I've been prescribed meds and cream to last me until delivery and hopefully it'll clear soon after that. I'm sort of peeved, I can't help but feel that I could have had this under control sooner if they would have listened to me. Glad it's in the works now, and as always listen to your gut instincts mommas! Have a good weekend. I'll be laying in bed all lathered up with cream and my drowsy meds!

  • That sounds horrible! I'm glad you went for a second opinion!
  • So glad you trusted your mommy instincts! Sorry the doctor didn't listen to you sooner! Sending creepy internet hugs your way!
  • I am so sorry you're going through this. I also have it. Hope you feel better soon.

    Why is it when your geniunly concerned about something or have a suspicion about something going on with your body when you ask if it could be x, y, or z the doctor just blows you off? It seems to only happen when you say what you think it could be... When I first started having preterm labor issues I said something about it hurting when I peed and I said I may have a UTI and they just blew it off like I didn't know what I was talking about.. That ended up being the whole issue!!! I don't get it!!!! Glad you listened to your instincts and got another opinion!!!


    Edit because words and sentences are hard when your tired lol
  • Had this last pregnancy. It's no joke!! Oatmeal paste, grandpa's pine tar soap, and dandelion root helped me. Also, desitin helped some. Good luck!!!
  • I used Lye soap and it really helped! Oatmeal baths as well. Good luck, I've been there and its miserable.
