Itchy, burning armpit

Anybody else?? It happened with my first pregnancy 10 years ago and is happening now with this pregnancy. It's beyond irritating. My armpit is discolored from the sensation. I've been taking Benadryl for it. My Nurse also said I can put hydrocortisone cream on it, so I picked some up today. It's really the only similarity between my pregnancies. My next appt is a week from tomorrow.

    Not my armpit, but I've had a fun rash from my left thigh up and across into the fun parts.  :s I went to the doctor on Thursday and she said it either looked like chicken pox (negative) or impetigo...or just could be a rash from pregnancy hormones. They put me on antibiotics and a steroid cream for a week and I go back again this Thursday.  So far it seems to be helping a bit, but the itchiness is beyond annoying.

  • Oh no! The thigh just as sensitive, and the fun parts are moreso! I feel like I'm going to claw some of the skin off it's so bad. I can't bear to put deodorant on it because that does not help in anyway. I can't wait to go to the Dr and have him look at it. Hopefully we both get relief soon!!!
