ITCHY!

I'm overwhelmingly itchy all the time, LIKE ALL OVER! And lotion makes it burn because i scratch to hard and break the skin. Is anyone els really itchy all the time??????

Don't scratch it...

Me. ALWAYS itchy. I hate it. I just try to keep my skin moisturized so I'm not all dry and all that. And it helps the itchiness, too... I just use the vasseline cocoa butter lotion.

If it is dry skin you may be able to drink more and get a thick cream to use instead of a thin lotion. I had a preg rash and it was horrible itching!!!!

I have a horrible case of pupps rash right now. I have my boyfriend scratch my back while i itch everything else lol. My doc said there was nothing i could really do for it.

I have dry skin, I'm ALWAYS itchy. It's almost never-ending. I always itch somewhere but I've learned to ignore alot of it.

have you tried taking a benadryl just to see if that helps with the itching?

Avoid lotions, I would melt cocoa butter, jojoba oil and shea butter and mix those together. Use that as your lotion for awhile till it eases up, it won't burn and all of them have healing properties <3

Nope I had it with my first and when they said the only place it wouldn't spread was your face they were right I tried everything over the counter creme's medicated ointment, medication nothing touched it. The only way to cure it was to wait till the pregnancy hormones went away took two almost 3 weeks after I delivered. They call it Pupps I call it hell lol I would rather have chickenpox for the rest of my life than ever have that rash again :-(

mine was a small patch on my lower belly on top of two stretchmark’s had it for about a week or so then all of a sudden at 29 weeks it spread like wild fire I had it from the bottom of my jaw to my feet the only relief I had was when I was scratching myself raw I am paranoid of getting it again this pregnancy and crossing my fingers it won’t happen I hit 30 weeks today and still no rash only ten more to go.

Whats weird is that mine didnt start in my stretch marks. I only have a little bit on the side of my hips but nothing on my belly. Mine is very small little knots under the skin. I was told it was pupps by the nurse i saw.

yea it's bumpy mine felt like little bumps on my two stretchmark’s then the stretchmark’s became inflamed, red and sensitive to the touch probably from the scratching lol then it just took off went all over my belly then down my legs on my arms then on my neck. After I delivered it was horrible I felt so embarrassed when people where taking pictures because by that time it just looks like one big red welt everywhere :-(

I had my mom run and bring me back a zip up hoodie to hide most of it in the pictures because I wanted a few that didn't make me look like I had a skin disease I was very self-conscious and the nurses in the NICU made it worse.

There was one other mom with it and when we were both in the NICU the nurse looked at us and said I don't what is wrong with you to like we were dirty or something I remember the other mom and I just looking at each other and wanting to crawl under something it was horrible.

My only advice is don’t let them give you a high dose of Benadryl after you deliver they gave one to me and my lactation consultant went through the roof and about a week I was basically completely dried up I couldn’t even produce an ounce and the lactation consultant said it was the Benadryl.

Sry that must be scary to deal with. How long have you had them if you don't mind me asking?
