Rash - neck and face?

Wondering if this could be a pregnancy symptom? I'm 10 weeks and for a while, I've felt like my upper chest / decollatage area has been itchy. No visible rash, just a persistent itch that gets a bit worse if I give in and scratch 🤦‍♀️
Tonight, I've developed a little itchy red patch at the corner of my eye, there are a few bumpy itchy patches on my cheeks and now down either side of my neck too.
Haven't changed any products I use or anything like that so I'm wondering if it could be hormonal and pregnancy related, has anyone experienced similar?

If it's still there when I get up tomorrow I might call the GP to see if I can see them for some advice.

At about 8 weeks I developed hives on my chest, at 12 weeks I’ve now got a red rash that has spread to basically my whole torso and is driving me mad with itching. I called the doctor the first week and they didn’t want to see me, just told me over the phone to use steroid cream and take piriton. I’m too scared to take piriton because it’s not proven safe in pregnancy, and steroid cream did bugger all. Just bought some calamine lotion that I’m going to try tonight so fingers crossed!

I reckon mine is either friction related or like heat rash because it’s worse over my chest and knicker line, and weird places like the front of both collarbones. But no idea how to cure it, would be interested to hear what your doctor says!

Hi OP, I have had exactly the same in my forehead! I'm 11+4 and saw my GP yesterday and was told "keep an eye on it". Helpful. The rash itself isn't too bad but my god is it itchy. But the rash I do have sounds just like what you described.

Let me know how you get on with the gp, be interesting to see if they are better with you than they were with me!! Xxx

Well I've been to the GP and pretty much told to keep an eye on it too!
Reckons it could be hormone related and I've been given Eumovate cream to use on the areas that have flared up, so we'll see how that goes.

I have scalp psoriasis too so was worried he might suggest it was linked to that as sometimes I have had little patches on my face but he clearly said it's not that, which I kinda knew myself.

Wait and see I suppose and let's hope it doesn't get any worse for any of us!
