Itchy, red rash and 6 weeks pregnant

This horrible rash is all over my chest, boobs and calves and ankles. I went to the doctor and they said it could be due to hormonal changes. It is so darn itchy!! Advice please! I can't take normal medicines obviously... Has anyone had a similar thing?

I had this. All over my tummy. It went in a few days. It is a sign of twins I've heard???
But I'm just having the one!
Hope u feel better soon, try camomile lotion. I'm sure your DH won't mind rubbing it in certain bits!

twins?! Yikes! I will try the camomile lotion though....currently have ice packs on my chest and legs which seems to be taking the sting out of it, temporarily, at least!

I had that around the same time (and am 21 weeks now, with only the one dc in there!). Aveeno lotion with shea butter sorted it in a few days.
