Having looked on the interweb I think it's a rash known as PUPPP (sometimes known as PEP) - red itchy raised area under belly button spreading upwards..
Really really itchy - I mean tortuously itchy. Am alternately putting aloe vera on and Sudocreme both of which seem to help (the Aloe Vera more so)
Slightly different rash appearing on arms, chest and legs now too - looks like small midge bites rather than flat raised red areas on stomach..
Spoke to consultant on Thurs about it (before other rash on arms etc appeared) and he said it was "just" a "pregnancy rash" .. it's driving me nuts now though..
Has anyone else had this ?
