Can Itchy Sores On Belly, Feet, Back Affect Baby In Pregnancy?

Hi, I am 22 weeks pregnant, I noticed some swellings like sores that are very itchy, the more I scratch it the more it increases. I have these on my hands, feet, belly, and my back. Pleases I need to know that it is not something serious that would affect my baby. Thank you. Jossy.

Hi. Please go to a skin specialist to confirm what these lesions are and also stop all medicines for few days that you are taking and consult your dr. again before starting them.It can be some allergic reaction or some viral rash which may be harmful to baby. Apply calamine lotion and take anti-allergic tab. for the time being and please don't ignore.
Thanks.
