Anyone ever have pupp rash in the first trimester?

Question

I started with these bumps on the back of my legs and on my elbows and under my arms I even have them on my fingers! It’s intensely itchy and it’s almost unbearable at times. I’ve been to urgent care, ER, even my OB and they can’t give me a straight answer. Has anyone had this?

Answer

The ones almost in your armpit look like bug bites of some kind 🤔 have you stayed anywhere new lately or has anyone new stayed at your place? I’m wondering about bed bugs? I stayed at a friends house in high school & got eaten alive by bed bugs and it looked like I had chicken pox it was so bad. Have you been outside in the woods or anything?

Answer

These definitely look like bed bug bites, especially the ones on your legs, I would wait till you settle down at night and put a heating pad on the bed under the blanket to draw them out they love heat. Then check back in a few hours later. Seen it a few times at the clinic and patients often can never find the bugs so the bug place always tells them to turn the heat up put heat on the mattress with a hair dryer or heating pad to draw them out because new infestation are hard to spot.

Answer

I had this with both of my previous pregnancies, although it looked a bit different from what you have. I’m praying I don’t get it this time. Doctors did nothing for me, at all. They gave me a steroid cream and it didn’t work, and after that, nothing. It was all over my body. It went away when I delivered my kids. I know how uncomfortable it is, and I hate that you’re experiencing it 😞 I used something called Grandpa’s Pine Tar soap and tried drinking V8 juice with some minimal relief. Being in the sun with skin exposed seemed to help some, too, but that’s harder as winter approaches. I hope you’re able to find some relief 💖
