YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I AM NOW 16 WEEKS PREGNANT WITH MY SECOND CHILD. I STATRTED TO GET A BUMBY ITCHY RASH ON MY ARMS AND LEGS IN MY 12TH WEEK JUST LIKE YOU ARE DESCRIBING. MY PRIMARY WASN'T ANY HELP AS IT SPEAD MORE ON MY LIMBS, MY OB SAID IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE PUPPS, BECAUSE IT USUALLY STARTS ON THE STOMACH. I EVEN TOOK MY SELF TO THE ER BECAUSE IT TURNED BRIGHT PINK AND COVERED MY ARMS AND MOST OF MY LEGS. I WAS VERY ITCHY AND UNCOMFORTABLE. THEY DIDN'T KNOW AND RECOMMENDED TO SEE A DERMATOLOGIST. I COULDN'T WAIT, I WAS TRYING EVERYTHING SAFE TO TAKE OVER THE COUNTER AND NOTHING WAS HELPING. THE DERMATOLOGIST WAS NO HELP, THEY DON'T THINK ITS PUPPS EITHER THEY GAVE ME A TOPICAL STEROID CREAM THAT IS NOT HELPING THE ITCHYNESS AS IT IS SPREADING NOW TO MY FEET, HANDS, BELLY AND CHEST. I AM IN CONTACT WITH THEM ALMOST DAILY ASKING FOR MORE RELEIF AND SUGGESTIONS. BE PERSISTANT. I BELEIVE IT IS RELATIVE TO THIS PREGNANCY AND PUPPS CAN START IN EARLY WEEKS OF PREGNANCY. MAKE A DERMATOLOGIST APPOINTMENT AS SOON AS YOU CAN AND GO FROM THERE. IN THE MEAN TIME TAKE COOL SHOWERS AND MOISTURIZE AT LEAST 2 X A DAY AS IT WILL START TO DRY OUT. I WISH YOU LUCK.
