Update: if anybody comes across this and wonders - rheumatologist said pregnancy eczema (AEP - atopic eczema of pregnancy) need a steroid cream to calm it down.

I'm a medical student and suffer from anxiety. I'm convinced I have polymorphic eruption of pregnancy (PUPPP) but nobody is listening to me... my OB keeps dismissing me saying it's normal and because the society/country I'm living in right now is obsessed with women looking perfect for their husbands keeps pressuring me saying I can do laser 🙄

They are intensely itchy and sore, some are scabbed over. Did any of you suffer with this? Is it normal and am I just being a wuss? I have stretch marks on my thighs and butt from teenager years and they've never been like this. Not red and not at all itchy.
