Suggest Remedy For Itchy Rashes During And Post Pregnancy

Hi I have had a rash that starred when I was pregnant with my twins. It started on my right thigh and has then spread to both arms stomach and pubic area. When I was pregnant my Dr insisted that it was pupps. My twins are now 11 weeks old and the rash is still there and itchy. The odd thing is that my children are getting this rash as well. I m waiting on insurance so that I can go to a Dr or dermatologist so that I can find a solution to this. It is absolutely horrible and embarrasing.

Hi,

There are two common possible diagnoses as per your complaint, one is Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP) which is non-contagious and remits after pregnancy.
Secondly, your rash could be Scabies which is contagious and associated with severe itching at night. As your children are also having the rash, the chances for the rash being scabies is high.

So, I recommend you to consult your Dermatologist to arrive at the final diagnosis and to manage accordingly.

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