PUPPS?

Question

Anyone ever deal with PUPPS before?? Does this look like what this rash could be? It’s so itchy, and I’m miserable!! I’m 37 weeks this week.

Answer

I had it. It was awful. I used dry skin lotion and Benadryl cooling gel on the itchest spots. Once I delivered it started to go away and less then a week later it was all gone

Answer

Mine started at 30 weeks was going to itch my skin right off I tried oral and topical benadryl, cortisone 10 cream, pine tar soap, cool baths. nothing helped Dr prescribed me a steroid cream and said to take claritin and that helped so very much to the point now I bearly notice it. mine was only my arms and legs you look to have a pretty bad case. I hope you get relief soon.

Answer

Yes. You have PUPPS. I have it too 😢. My doctor prescribed me a steroid cream which seemed to help and today he gave me some pills to help as well. Unfortunately after battling this for about 2 weeks my doctor has made the decision to induce me on Monday. There really isn’t much relief for it. I hear oatmeal baths help with cool water, but mine has gone to the sores stage so I cant even handle a bath. I got cortizone cream from the drug store and put it in the fridge and that helped a lot with the itch and pain. Really anything cold gives me relief. But talk to your doctor about a steroid cream and possible some medication. Good luck

Answer

I've never had it but I am queen of skin issues. Ice packs! They will help relieve the itch.

Answer

Omg yes that's what it looks like! I personally have never had it, but I know what it looks like!! Have you told your OB?

Answer

We're on the same boat but mine stopped just last week. suffered sleepless nights for 3 weeks. Now there's scars left all over me. I hope you'll get some relief specially now that it's summer. Try to stay cool.

Answer

😭 I have it too but only on my belly (so far). 39 weeks tomorrow so hoping to get relief via delivery soon... if this stubborn boy ever wants to come! I can’t imagine having it all over like that. My doc recommended Benadryl and ive been using calamine lotion. Ive been taking the Benadryl at night so I can get some sleep and the calamine lotion works for about 15 minutes. I swear it feels like I lathered up in lotion and put on a wool sweater 😭😭😭

Answer

Oh moms!!! I’m so sorry. I’ve never had it but have read there’s a cream your OB will give you! Hang in there.
