PUPP?

Question

Have developed what the doctors think is PUPP which is a terribly itchy skin rash during pregnancy. Has anyone else experienced this and if so what helped with the hives?

Answer

I absolutely swear by Pine Tar soap - ordered it on Amazon for £10. It worked when nothing the doctors could give me did.

Answer

I got it at 18 weeks and got super depressed. Could hardly sleep and everyone told me it wouldn't go away till after labor. Glad I didn't listen to them and kept doing research and reached out to my midwife. Did a liver cleanse with v8 juice and an herbal tincture and used Grandpas Pine Tar soap. Went away in 4 days. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Answer

Don't mean to scare you but I thought I had PUPPS . It started as little mosquito bites then turned into hives . Week later i had a rash all over my body with blisters . I tried EVERYTHING ! After multiple doctor visits I was diagnosed with pemphigoid gestationis. I'm currently on steroids to control the inflammation. My advice is to go to the dr .

Answer

I have it and used pine tar soap! Was skeptical that a soap would do anything but it worked wonders and the itching is gone. Here and there I have some but when I do I use it and it gives relief! Totally worth it

Answer

I went to my OB for my belly itching terribly constantly with any relief no matter how much coco butter I used! He gave me hydrocyzine and anti-itch cream for PUPPS. I used them for about a week but tried to stop taking the medication unless I feel itchy but I haven't for few days now 👍🏽

Answer

im having the same thing. I was thinking about calling my doctor but im not sure if I should or not. the itching gets worse at night I just started getting it today and Im 38weeks and 6 days

Answer

Ugh yes! It's awful!!!

Answer

I had it with my first pregnancy. Curious question, are you having a boy? 
Anyways, it was pretty bad, I was miserable. Mine didn't develop until I was about 36 weeks though and last till about 2 weeks after birth. The only thing that helped with the itching really was ice packs. I would get washcloths wet and put them in the freezer. When the itching started I would take one out and lay it on whatever was itching. My belly, my arms, legs, boobs...  Everything. I also used grandpa's pine tar soap, it would help a little but not much.

Answer

I don't have it with this pregnancy but I did with my first. Nothing worked for me I was miserable. They can give u a cream and u can take warm baths to try to help /( all I can say was once I delivered my son and before the dr even put him on my chest it was gone! Super crazy! Hang in there!
