Rash During And After Pregnancy Posted: 11-26-03 16:58pm
At the beginning of my 9th month I started
getting a rash. I later got toxemia and
had a c-section. After the birth, my
rash spread throughout my whole body. It
looks like big blister like blotches and
itches like hell. I saw a skin doctor
that said that it was a reaction to the
anastasia - but I don't believe it because
the rash started before I had the baby.
It is already 2 weeks after the baby and I
still go crazy from the itching... Is
there anyone that can give me advice?

Rash Posted: 12-09-03 15:51pm
During my 9th month I got a rash all over
my body except for my face, hands and
feet, it was uncontrollably itcy and
uncomfortable and my doctor's didn't know
what it was so my husband did some
research on the computer and there is a
pregnancy rash called puppps or pupps not
sure of the spelling. One of my doctor's
knew about it and the only cure was to
give birth and then it will go away within
a few weeks if not immediately. I tried
band aid itch spray gel which helped a
little bit and some cream but I forget
what it is called which helped a little
but unfortunately nothing helped enough.
Look up on the internet a rash called
"puppps or pupps" and see what they
recommend to give you some relief until it
goes away.
I mean I don't know if that is what you
have or not but it sounds similar to
mine.

Could it be fifths disease (aka: slapped
cheeks synd.)????? My sis got it and it
was a very very itchy red rash everywhere
on her entire body.

My kids get really severe rashes from
allergies, including alergies to most
sensitve skin stuff!! They use advantan
cream (that's what it's called in
australia, don't know about there? But
you could check on the internet) the other
thing that works wonders for them is
phenergan (it's a tablet comes in 25mg
& you can take up to 3 at night) it's
am anti-histamine (again you would have to
check the name in the us.
The active ingredients are: in advantan
cream (which you only need a tiny bit of)
methylprednisolone aceponate 1mg &
benzyl alcohol 10mg
: in
phenergan, promethazine hydrochloride bp.

Preg Rash--me Too. Posted: 09-12-07 22:31pm
Hi, I was so miserable with my puppp rash
and I tried to get rid of it, nothing
worked. I did not want to use a steroid
cream. Someone told me to try a product
called Pregnancy Rash Relief by Kopec
Naturals. It worked so fast--could not
believe it. I was so happy I could have
cried. Its worth a try for sure.
