If the rash that you are experiencing is
due to an allergy, the baby won’t be
damaged. But if the rash is due to some
type of viral infection such as rubella,
chicken pox, measles… the health of the
fetus is at risk. Fortunately, your first
trimester has passed so the risk for fetal
damage has decreased. It is diagnose
either a possible allergic reaction or
viral infection without a physical
examination and serological examinations.
You can first see your family doctor to
identify the cause for the spreading,
itchy skin rash.
