Do you have any benadryl cream......That
is really good for a rash, but I can't
take it......It'll kill me. Lol.
Allergic to an allergy medicine. Weird.
I've sorta been itching all over but
theres just one spot on my upper leg and
its red and itchy, lord knows I havent
been shaving my legs as much(ewww lol, if
I did I would have to shave everyday, my
hair grows way too quick now!) maybe there
just drier now

Probally! I haven't shaved my legs in a
while, never really had a reason to, I
stopped shaving my legs like last year,
lol. I dont mind them, 'cuz the hair
isn't so thick and stuff so i'll justl
eave it, I dont want them to get thicker.
And about the dry thing, I never put any
lotion on my legs! So mine are pretty
dry, too, lol.
Eww you know what, i'm starting to itch
all over my body now. I just took a bath!
Im a lotion freak, I always put lotion on
everywhere I can when I get out of the
shower! Haha sh*t if I let my leg hair
grow out for a year i'd look like a man
from the waist down! Lol....Oh yea only
I wouldnt have a dick!

Dont worry girls, hehe it is completely
normal to itch during pregnancy. Its the
most common symptom also.
Try some of these:
wear loose cotton
clothing. Tight lycra has a lot to answer
for!
Itching may be soothed by dissolving a cup
of bicarbonate of soda in your bathwater.
try dabbing
calamine lotion onto itchy skin -
especially soothing if you keep the bottle
in the fridge.
A few drops of lavender oil (in the last
three months of pregnancy) and/or tea tree
oil in your bath may also offer relief
from itching, whether or not there is a
rash. Tea tree oil has proven medicinal
benefits; consult packaging and enclosed
literature to find out more. If in any
doubt, ask your pharmacist or a qualified
aromatherapist.
treat sweat rashes
by washing frequently in cool water, and
sprinkling on non-perfumed talcum powder.
Your pharmacist may be able to suggest
other safe treatments.
if a rash does not
improve with these simple measures,
consult your doctor. Specific anti-fungal
or other treatments may be appropriate.
Alternatively, she or he may prescribe
antihistamine cream or tablets.

Dont use benadryl unless its perscribed
because it can be bad for the baby. Ive
been dealing with an allergic rash on my
tummy. The last tim eit happened it was
all over my body it was much worse then
chicklen pox and its starting to come
back...So im using neosporine give it a
try!

Maybe taking a shower and putting lotion
on it will help moisturize it,, hope you
guys feel better
