[disneystar]

just wondered if anyone has had small itching bumps on there bodies i have terrible itching spots they are red and swollen and and im trying so hard not to scratch also very itchy around the swollen area i thought i had been bitten by something underneath the raised area its hard and red i also i have them on my waist line around my back level with my tummy button now in my sons nursey chicken pox is going around could it be this i havnt had it or has anyone else had this in pregnancy the itchiting is driving me nuts !!!!

Yes I've had it twice so far. First time was at 12 weeks it started as pinprick red dots over my abdomen and arms, then progressed to very itchy lumpy red and white lumps all over (including face) absolute agony. After 4 weeks it transformed to extreme dry skin. Piriton and camomile lotion did nothing, only diprobase soothed and minimised the itching. It cleared up and then came back again about 22 weeks but much more minor and only on chest and arms., I still have some red scaly eczema patches behind my knees but it is manageable., The midwife reckoned it coincided with a peak of hormones and because i have a history of allergies we think I'm allergic to my own hormones!! I suspect stress at work contributed to second flare-up.

you might have something completely different though

thanks for answering i guess it could be the same thing mine are red lumps or rather white lumps and red all around them they itch like crazy they are very hard lumps and when i scrath them the top layer comes of within a little while they have formed another top layer like a crust sounds disgusting i know but extremely painful whatever they are do you think its worth mentioning to my mw
