PUPPP rash

Hi! I was blessed with no morning sickness so I thought I was lucky. Until I suddenly got rash on my arm. Then it suddenly spreads rapidly and its all over my body now! The itch is intense and crazy. Initially thought it was hives but when I went to dr, she diagnosed me with PUPPP. It was crazyyyyyyyy especially when the rash triggered. Now thankfully it is flat and smooth now, but I'm left with pigmentation from the rash and all that scratching. Itch has reduced by alot but it is still itchy. Sighhhhhhh. Anybody experiencing the same? Share your stories please!

Hey Mummy! During my first pregnancy, at 36 weeks I had PUPP! I’ve tried everything from mild steroid, Calamine, oral medication, iced it, moisturized! Everything! It was so bad, that my scratching started to become more aggressive and I bled 😭 I gave birth at 38 weeks and a week after that, it all went away! My skin was extremely dry from all the things I put on my skin back then but nothing a little moisturiser can’t fix! Lucky me during my second pregnancy, I had no PUPPP!

Hello mommy! Im currently experiencing this now. Did the pupp rash leave a scars on you after birth please? Because mine, from scratching so hard to the point i bleed and form a lesion and now its dry but when i touch it its hard. So i am scared that it wont go away and i have a lot on my legs. 😢
