Helllllppp!! I developed a rash on my chest over the weekend and it won't go away or stop itching! I have no idea if its pupps, heat rash, some crazy woods poison or what! I am 30 weeks almost, bd and I went w the family up north to a very woodsy area full of bugs.. went thru the woods to go fishing, set up some things in the tree stands and I got bit to pieces..we also went to a parade but I wore 70spf..the rash is spreading to areas that wouldn't have been exposed to the sun..any suggestions?? I want to rip my skin off!

When I had the PUPPS it started on the belly area and then it started to spread all over. I was about 34 weeks then, and they gave me steroids to kind of help with the itching. Google images of PUPPS and compare it to what you have. It might be hives or poison ivy as well.

@survivormommie3 is a pregnancy related rash, horrible to have, I dont wish that upon anyone!

Me and my sister both had puppps. She got it at around 27 weeks. It can alsp be on your belly arms and legs. Im sorry if you have puppps. The only way my dr said to get rid of it is to deliver. Im 9 weeks pp and I still have it on my legs it can take yp to 3 months after delivery for it to go away. Hydrocprtizone cream, oatmeal baths, lotions.. None of them worked for us.. My sis now uses dandelion pills and grandpas pine tar soap. She said it helps alot. Talk to your dr tho, good luck mama!
