I'm 9 weeks. Yesterday a rash randomly appeared on my chest and neck.

it's super itchy and red. You can't see much but can feel lots of tiny bumps.

Should I be concerned or is it just the heat or something??

Possibly it needs cream, I've had a similar sounding itch (although it doesn't itch much) since about 8 weeks, I'm 23 weeks now. Doctors not overly concerned but keep an eye on it. I'd say show your GP. It's one of those miserable pregnancy 'things' that happen to some women's apparently...

If you can't get to your GP for a few days, you could try speaking to a pharmacist as a short term solution?

I often get a blotchy heat rash there but this is lumpy and itchy.

pharmacy man said it looks like an allergic reaction but without a prescription all he could give me was calamine lotion. It helps briefly but it's still driving me mad!

If it's still there on Wednesday I'll have to ask if I can leave work early and go to the doctors
