Puritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy (PUPPP)

I still cannot remember the full name of this rash, but it is commonly just referred to as PUPPP or pregnancy rash. Up to 1% of pregnant women get this, and it is supposed to clear up as soon as you deliver. Of course, i'm that 'lucky' 1%.

I started having some rashes around the belly button area about a week ago. I didn't pay much attention to it initially since though itchy, it was confined to a small area and controllable with cortisone cream. Then, this friday, it started flaring up and spred to my whole torso, back, thigh, neck and arms. So, i went on the internet for help.

Sunday: So far, i have tried hydrocortisone, Triamcinolon 0.1%, and Myconozole. Nothing really works more than an hour. I have also taken an oat meal bath yesterday. Today, i went to the pharmacy and bought some calamine lotion and some flaxseed oil.

Monday: At 8am this morning, i decided to take a Benadryl. It normally makes me hyperactive, but there's nothing to lose now after staring at the ceiling for a good few hours last night. Miraculously, it made me drowsy this time and drifted to sleep for a couple hours. Oh, got some Sarna today. It feels good when you put it on since it is cooling. My belly looks like the picture on the left now.

If I don't get some relief by Wednesday, I am calling the doctor to get induced.....
