PUPPP?

Question

I'm almost 37 weeks and for the last few days my stomach has been so itchy and nothing I put on it helps! After looking at somethings online it looks like I may have PUPPP. Has anyone else experienced this and if so is there anything I can do to stop the itchiness?

Answer

Ladies!! Go out and buy grandpa's pine tar bar soap.  You can get it at your local GNC. I started getting a rash almost everywhere and was suggested this.  I used it at least 3 times a day for 4 days straight and it makes the itch go away and stay away for almost the entire day! Of course use to your discretion but I couldn't believe how much it helped!  And I didn't usually put anything on my skin after the shower and that seemed to work the best.

Answer

I had it until a couple weeks ago and let me tell you it's PAINFUL! I had it all over both arms shoulders legs hands and feet. Terrible. It lasted for weeks. Dr told me Benadryl and Tylenol and stay away from the heat . The main thing that helped the most was keeping lotion on my body at all times! Goodluck!!

Answer

I had it with my last pregnancy. My doctor had me use a benadryl cream. Also for a nice cool feeling, you can make your own paste. Try taking baking soda and adding water til it becomes pasty, apply it where it itches. It's a bit messy, so I laid down with towel under me. It will become hard then eventually you just take it off because it doesn't stay cold. I scratched so hard I made my skin bleed. My doctor finally prescribed me a steroid cream that helped me so much, but it's not to be used more than few times a day for 5 days 😩

Answer

I've had puppps twice and that doesn't look like it at all. Could be skin just stretching. Try Yardley oatmeal and almond soap. It takes the itch away right away. Hope you feel better soon

Answer

I've recently started having this issue, but I'm not sure if that's what I have. As of last week, I started getting some stretch marks 😕 So I just chalked it up to my skin stretching like crazy from the baby dropping. But it itches like crazy and almost Burns and is sore when I touch where the new marks are.
