My midwife diagnosed me with a PUPPP rash. Although my rash is in a different place than normal (mainly my arms, but has spread to my left side and now my boobs are itchy). It is INTENSELY ITCHY, worse when it’s hot and it’s very hot where I live. I’ve had it for over a month already and I’m 34 weeks pregnant so I have at least a month to go. It’s so unbearable itchy, it keeps me up at night. It keeps getting worse and I didn’t sleep almost at all last night.

I’m exhausted enough without missing sleep honestly. I feel like a zombie. Having skin conditions isn’t new for me; I have a history of psoriasis and eczema. But this is different, it’s like a burn that feels like it comes from deep under my skin. When I do cave and scratch it (Although I try really hard not to scratch it), it feels amazing but then turns into one of those itches where you can’t find where it’s coming from.

I’m putting coconut oil with skin loving essential oils on it what feels like consistency. The itch cream doesn’t make a difference at all. According to google I can take Benadryl but if it works then I’ll be tempted to take one nightly and I don’t want to do that for a solid month!

I’m hoping someone here has experienced with this and has a few tricks of their sleeve. 😫🙏
