Pregnancy Info HOME

I have had this awful rash since Week 15. I'm now at Week 18, and it still hasnt gone away! I've used steroid cream, pinetar sol showers, cold showers, antihistamine (polaramine), and tea tree oil. They all relieve the itching temporarily, but doesn't get rid of it completely. It started at the top of my neck on a hot day, and then spread down to my breasts, some of my tummy..and has now started on the back of my hands and arms. The itching drives me nuts!!! It seems to worsen in hot weather, so I have been trying to stay cool in airconditioning, and taking lots of cool showers, with the pinetar solution. I just had a test to check for bile liver problems ( cholestasis of pregnancy) Which I hope would be negative!!! My obs thinks it might be a severe heat rash (as the rash worsens during hot days).. so I hope that's all it is, and not something more serious!!! *fingers crossed*
