Hi,

You are pregnant and you developed rash at 36 weeks of pregnancy. I feel that you might have pregnancy dermatosis known as pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy.

Consult the dermatologist immediately for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. After thorough examination and investigations, he me might give proper medicines to improve your condition. Antihistaminics like Cetirizine may be taken and apply soothing lotion like calamine and aloe vera lotion.

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