Yikes! Looks like PUPPP (Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy) -- a polymorphic eruption which results in an itchy, bumpy rash that starts in the stretch marks of the abdomen in the last 3 months of pregnancy. Like your doctor says, it will clear up after delivery. According to: http://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/whose-body/skin-rashy.aspx You can try the following home remedies: - Taking an oatmeal or baking soda bath. - Applying cold compresses (and have your partner refresh them often). - Using aloe vera gel after you shower. - Wearing soft cotton clothes (and gloves if you’re a scratcher).
