Suddenly got these red itchy patches on my belly and arms, im around 30 weeks. Not painful but bohot itchy, esp at night. Wondering what brings this on during pregnancy, anyone else got rashes like this?
Ugh, I'm in my 3rd trimester and my belly looks like a map of red itchy roads! It's just the skin stretching to accommodate this tiny kicker inside me. Honestly, I'm just rubbing ice cubes on it while complaining to my husband, haha!
Since I have PCOS, my hormones were already all over the place, making my skin super prone to dry rashes. It's very common, but since our bodies are sensitive, I'd suggest not experimenting with too many home remedies. Just ask your doctor for a mild, pregnancy-safe lotion.
Our bodies go through so many changes to bring a new life into this world, and skin rashes are just part of this physical journey. Keep your mind peaceful, stay positive, and apply some pure coconut oil. God will keep you and the baby safe, just take care.
Rashes are usually due to stretched skin, hormones, or sometimes a condition called PUPPP. Keep the area clean, dry, and cool, and avoid hot water baths. If the itchiness is severe or spreads to your palms and soles, definitely consult your doctor to rule out cholestasis.
It's mostly because of stretching skin and hormonal changes! 🌸 Applying some nice moisturizing lotion or aloe vera gel can really help soothe the itchiness. Take care! 💕
My mother suggested applying a little coconut oil to soothe the stretching skin, as dry skin often causes rashes. But I still called my doctor to make sure it wasn't PUPPP or any allergy. It's always best to let the gynac see it and give the right lotion.
Listen, pregnancy hormones make the skin super sensitive, and stretching makes it worse, causing these rashes. Don't scratch it with your nails, or you'll get marks and infections. Just use a basic moisturizer and ask your doctor if it doesn't go away.
With twins, my belly stretched double the speed, so rashes were my daily companions! It's mostly just stretched skin and heat. My practical advice: wear loose cotton clothes, use a cold pack, and try not to scratch like a bear!
Rashes can happen due to hormone changes stretching your skin, or even PUPPP rash. I had terrible nausea and then got these itchy spots too, it's so frustrating. Try using a cold compress or simple calamine lotion, but do ask your doc if it gets too itchy.
It could be stretching skin or a hormonal reaction, but any new rash during pregnancy should be evaluated. Please don't try any strong self-medication. It's always safest to show it to your gynac and get their green light.
Hormones playing up or your skin stretching as your sweet baby grows can cause these rashes, dear. I know how stressful every little symptom can feel after a long journey to get here. Please treat your skin gently and check with your doctor for a safe soothing cream.
Beta, pregnancy hormones and body heat can cause these red rashes. You can apply a little organic virgin coconut oil or fresh aloe vera gel ghar pe to soothe the burning. But if it spreads or is very severe, please show it to your doctor.
Oh, I remember getting those awful, itchy belly rashes, it made me so miserable and teary-eyed. Your skin is stretching so much and hormones are wild right now, which is the main cause. Just know you are doing amazing, this phase will pass soon.
I felt so helpless when I woke up with red itchy patches on my tummy during my eighth month. It felt like my skin was literally tearing, and the doctor told me it was just my skin stretching and reacting to hormones. Applying cool calamine lotion was the only thing that gave me comfort.
