How To Treat Itchy Rash Around Chest During Pregnancy?

I am 3 months pregnant and about 2 weeks ago noticed a small rash on the leftside of my neck. I have scratched it so bad, it seems to have spread all over my chest. It is red, unbearably itchy, and bumpy. I notice when I am in the sun, it gets even more itchy. What should I do?

Hi,

It may be contacted allergic dermatitis most probably. However, consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. There may be some allergens responsible for the disease like soap, detergent, perfume, house dust, house dust mite, pollen, clothes... so on...

As there is pregnancy, you should avoid oral treatment. Apply mild steroid cream. And avoid contact with suspected allergens.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.
