have you ever had PUPPS?

Question

(Please ignore how gross my belly looks:/ I can't wax or shave it at the moment...obviously) 
 kay so a few days ago I was kind of itchy and now I feel like I have poison oak all over my stomach. I'm pretty sure it's PUPPS. I am 37 weeks pregnant, and this is MISERABLE!! Called OB today and she said to use cortisone creme to help with the itching. Is there any way to get rid of it? I really don't want to have scars from scratching or get any kind of skin infection. It feels soooo awful!!!

Answer

I had pupps soooooo bad with my 1st pregnancy when i had my son coco butter was the only thing that helped it doesn't go away till after delivery

Answer

Unfortunately you will more than likely have it the rest of your pregnancy and that's exactly what it is. My co-worker just had her baby an she had it from about 32 weeks until birth. Hydrocortisone cream and Benadryl may help. Hang in there!

Answer

I had it the last week it was a nightmare. When I went into labor it was worse.

Answer

I had it. I actually ended up being induced at 41 weeks and 2 days because I couldn't stand the itching anymore. My docs gave me cortisone cream and it didn't help one bit. The only relief I got was from ice packs. Those helped a good bit. My poor husband had to go fetch me fresh ice packs all night long for weeks!

Answer

Try an oatmeal bath

Answer

I started using creme yesterday and it has helped a lot with the inflammation and itching! I'm hoping it won't spread anymore or get worse :( it is so so AWFUL!!!!
