Rash on belly

Ernestine • Thu, Jan 21

This is my first pregnancy. I'm 26 weeks and for the past two weeks my belly has been itching from stretching , but now I have small little bumps sort of like a heat rash . I asked my doctor she said it's not PUPPS she also said it looks like eczema. I don't know what to do or what kind of cream to put on to help. Has this happened to any of you ladies

Aveeno baby excema cream , I use it for myself and my son. I love it. He has excema and caritosis pilaris so his skin gets really rough and dry and it helps so much.

Could be an allergy to a cream. Have you been using cocoa butter cream for stretch marks? I got a similiar reaction when I started using Palmer's cocoa butter cream. Belly got very itchy and then got small red bumps. Quick google search showed some women are allergic to it. I used avenoo's baby eczema cream and stopped using the cocoa butter.

Vitamin E Oil, it will hydrate and also help prevent stretch marks.

I would try to avoid scratching as much as possible. That can increase your chances of stretch marks.

Cortisone cream over the counter will work.  Or an eczema cream.
