I was diagnosed with PUPPPS at 39 weeks and ive been miserable. i cant sleep because im constantly itching and itching. The itch is insatiable. It started on my belly over these horrible stretch marks and spread to pretty much every area of my body. My feet and hands seem to bug me the most though. The only thing that has worked for me to keep me sane is going into the shower, wetting myself down, then rubbing baking soda into the rashy sections. it will sting a little but it feels so good. then rinse off. After i dry off i put tea tree oil on the rash. Its smelly but it really soothes my skin. Im itch free and very comfy for 2-3 hours. then i have to repeat the process. i hope this info is helpful to anyone dealing with this nasty nasty rash. this is what works for me and it makes me feel good knowing that i am getting relief naturally with medications that im afraid could hurt my baby.
