[Khristine]

pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy = PUPPP

I'm sorry I have not had anyone who has experienced that. But if there is something you're experiencing and would liek to share - we'd be happy to listen and try to help you out best we could!

[MmmyOf1BBoy]

[Khristine]

It's okay - i didn't either lol! :) i looked it up.. i'ma t work but briefly scanned it..

[MmmyOf1BBoy]

Oh Ok.

[mitchteryosa]

I'm struggling with it at the moment. It's strongly itchy and could be annoying. It also leaves marks on my skin. :(

aww that must be tough! i couldn't stand when my belly was itchy, but i don't think i got those.. i'd get little papules on my lower belly.. but i didn't break out so bad!

isn't there anything for that?

[mitchteryosa]

It's really irritating, and keeps me awake at night.

My OB referred me to a Dermatologist, and advised me to apply clobetasol lotion on the entire affected area. Plus some moisturizer every hour. I can only use hypo allergenic soap.

She also prescribed Tavegyl but only take it when I can no longer tolerate the itchiness. It helps a little coz it dozes me off, but most of the time it doesn't.

[Khristine]

yikes! aww well i hope it goes away soon! :)

[mitchteryosa]

I hope so too. But that remains as "hope" coz my OB already told me that these rashes won't go away until I give birth. :(

[ProudYoungMomiie]

Aww.. poor thing! l hope it gets better soon

[Khristine]

oh no! until birth :( Yikes that's horrible! I couldn't even stand it when my belly was itchy when i was preggo - i can only imagine what your going through hugs

[mamaof4miracles]

I wonder if that is what I had. It was only under my arms at first and then started spreading towards my chest and then down. It started at the end of my pregnancy though. My husband kept asking the Dr and nurses what we could do because it would itch so bad that it'd drive me nuts. Even started bleeding because I was scratching so hard trying to make it stop.

[mitchteryosa]

The usual pattern of this would start from the belly. But it normally stays underarms, legs, neck, the parts that sweat a lot.

[ProudYoungMomiie]

Is it like eczema?

[mitchteryosa]

It isn't. They look like you've got goosebumps but they are red and very itchy.

[Khristine]

oh yikes :( poor mitch! i hate being itchy!

my arms look like that all the time i hate it lol

[mitchteryosa]

I know! I hate it! I really really do! But at least my OB made sure that these don't harm the baby.

[ProudYoungMomiie]

oh.. well I have eczema bad and i am always itching until they bleed i have tried everything to get rid of it and they just wont.

[mitchteryosa]

What cream do you apply?

[Dollface]

I got something kinda like the PUPPP when I was prego. Cause that's what I thought it was and my OB did too but it stayed about 2 months and disappeared about 3 weeks b4 I had Kasey. I seriously thought I was going to scratch my skin off!

[ProudYoungMomiie]

What cream do you apply?


I think it's hydrocortizone ((sp?)) and it burns.

[Andrea]

oh wow ... that must be awful hugs for you

[mitchteryosa]

I think it's hydrocortizone ((sp?)) and it burns.Awwww!
