Rash??

[MissPepper8]

25 weeks pregnant, I'm really damn itchy lately. I'd say the past two months I've not been able to shave my legs or use bubble bath stuff without being incredibly itchy afterwards (to the point I've made my leg bleed).

I've even had to stop using fragranced panty liners as I get thrush once every week now, so everything is super sensitive down below the waist but 2 days ago I got a small rash on my thumb area, it's like mini raised bumps? Which are really sore and itchy.

What the hell is going on with me? I never had this with my first pregnancy and this is literally apart from my hand below the waist.

Make an appointment with your GP. Skin issues are hard to diagnose anyway and impossible on a forum! Many areas now have deematologists (skin specialist doctors) who have a special interest in pregnancy related conditions because they are so common. If necessary your GP or your midwife can refer you

@Nanmumandmidwife my midwife knows, just thinks I'm even more sensitive as I'm pregnant. I should say, my skin has been always been a bit sensitive, but not this bad.

I've also told my gp via phone (had to ring about the constant thrush) and he didn't have much to say.

Could be choleostasis go get a blood test at day care

I would go to the GP. Have had the same and my midwife wasn’t sure. As soon as I saw the GP she took one look and diagnosed dermatitis. It cleared up with some strong cream. I’ve never had issues with itchy rashes before but apparently hormones can cause this.

Could it be PUPP? A friend of mine had this in later pregnancy . Really itchy rash on legs stomach and back.

I don't think it's this, its not on my hands or feet just legs.

@Mistymeow @Nanmumandmidwife

I think it's a pupp or a dermatitis, looks exactly like pupp in pictures. It's just my thumb area with there raised bumps, touch wood my legs are ok right now.

I never had this with my first, getting everything with this one. But I'll book my gp ASAP, need to take care of myself now.

@MissPepper8 I get some rash on my face and neck in pregnancy, with each pregnancy I got more. Looks like dermatitis/psoriasis and it's itchy, skin peels off really often and I'm reddish around there. I raised the concern my previous pregnancy and felt like a stupid because they were saying it's nothing. Anyways, mine clears completely after birth. I think it's hormonal and possibly due to myself taking aspirin.

Maybe that's your case too.
