Good Morning Ladies,
I am just wondering if anyone else had/has a really itchy and bumpy rash, I am 24+1 and when getting up in the night for one of many visits to the toilet, I started icthing on top of my bump. When I looked I noticed a cluster of what looked like insect bites.

I though nothing more of it, as I generally get bitten quite frequently.

But got as I got up this morning I have lots more on my breasts, chest, at the top of my body just under my arm.
They are massive big clusters and very very itchy.

Has anyone else had this??
Does it soundlike insect bites to anyone else??

The itching is driving me crazy, any tips on how to sooth it??

Thanks for reading

Sorry no time to write a long post but google for PUPP or PUPPP...i had this with my last pregnancy. Also if you do an archive search with my name and rash you should get more info on what i did.

Basically see a Dr...they probably wont have heard of it but piriton antihistimaine tablets (chlorphenamine) will take the edge off the itching plus steroid cream to apply topically if it gets really bad.

I waw hospitalised with mine as legs swelled up so badly they thought i had a skin infection...consultant checked that piriton was ok...not the one-a-day type though.

Thank you THBS, I googled PUPPP and got loads of info

I've also made a DR's appointment to check it out.
