37w5d red itchy spots??

Question

I've been known to have skin issues like eczema and stuff before pregnancy. I've had slight rashes on my stomach from my skin stretching, I've used the same lotion the entire pregnancy, but these popped up tonight and my stomach has been itching like crazy the whole time but these itch even worse and kinda sting.. any ideas what it is??

Answer

Definitely ask your OB. there’s something called PUPPPs that can cause a rash like this... I don’t believe it’s serious but it’s worth mentioning to your OB.

Answer

I do not have eczema or skin issues, but used the same lotions the whole pregnancy as well. About 33 weeks I got something similar on my belly. Turns out I developed a reaction to new laundry detergent. So I washed my clothes with a gentle detergent (All free and clear), stopped moisturizing so my rash could breathe, and used Benadryl cream for awhile and after weeks it’s gone. But i accidentally wore a shirt that hadn’t been washed with the good stuff, and the rash and itching started to come back! Good luck, I hope you can get some relief
