20 weeks itchy rash all over belly, boobs, hips, what could it be?

[Jem9153]

I first developed a rash all over the back of my hips a few weeks ago, over the last day or so it’s got 10x worse and it’s covering all my stomach, my boobs are covered, my hips and my bum.

It looks like an allergic type rash with urticaria, as I have really sensitive legs and get this type of rash if I use certain shaving foam or different wash powder.

I’ve read online it might be pregnancy related, has anyone else had this? I’m wary of going to the GP for anything now because of the situation, but will call tomorrow if I have to. It’s so itchy it’s driving me mad, and obviously I’m unable to take any of my usual antihistamines 😫

Do get checked out. I had the same when pregnant with number 2 and had to have blood tests for Cholestasis. Luckily in my case it was just random itching and it went away after the birth!

Have you been using any unusual products? I had something similar a few weeks ago and when I stopped using bio oil (that I’d started using to prevent stretch marks) it went away

@crazykitkatlady nothing unusual but I have been using my normal lush moisturiser all over to try do the same thing and prevent stretch marks, I wonder if my skin has took a sudden dislike to it? It’s odd because my legs are fine and they’re usually the worst as they’re so sensitive!

Hello @Jem9153

Google PUPPPs rash - is that what is looks like?
