    I had pupps my first pregnancy a little over 2 years ago. I tried it ALL. It was all really about management and nothing but giving birth took it away completely. What I tried: washing rash area with grandpas pine tar soap nightly when i was robbed of sleep due to itch (quite helpful as it sort of dried the area temporarily and calmed the itch), aloe vera plant gel, icing it (quickest relief due to numbing sensation), different thick creams/unscented lotions (made it worse for me), cortisone (recommended by OB but didn’t help me at all), drinking tart cherry juice (found at Target), eating apples everyday, coconut oil, olive oil. Everything under the sun. Rotating remedies helped entertain (?) me and keep me hopeful that maybe all of it would help. Just find what helps you most to manage and do it over and over.
