Think ive gotten PUPPS :(

[lushious09]

i posted recently about a mini stretch mark under my belly button... but on closer inspection i noticed it was more of a rash... at first i put it down to shaving rash but now im starting to think it could PUPPS... i read that its more common for those having boys and low and behold im having a boy... its so itchy and sore has anyone else had any issues with these? its not spread but i would like relief from it xx

pupps tends to be more wide spread than jus a little rash.
its more likely that it is shavin rash... that would result in itchin as well.
also, i've found i'm quite itchy a lot more now anyway... jus because our skin is more sensitive... its always itchier when i'm thinkin bout it as well!!

I had a very severe case of PUPPS with my first baby and believe me it isn't restricted to your stomache. It spreads everywhere! This time i got it very mildly at 33 weeks and went straight to the consultant. Luckily it only lasted about 4 weeks this time so am very relieved. Apparently that's quite common that is very mild in subsequent pregnancies. How pregnant are you? It may be the start of things to come or it could just be your skin stretching. Mine is quite itchy on my tummy as it's so tight. Good luck! If it does develop into PUPPS message me i have lots of treatment ideas xxx

Could it be heat rash?

I have had a small heat rash on my bump a few times now (but i do live in a hot country). It gets quite itchy and angry looking, but i have found trying my best to keep it cool helps - long cold showers, only wearing cotton clothes etc. I had been wearing a maternity tankini the first time it arrived, never again!!

Hope it clears up soon. When is your next MW appointment? Maybe she could have a look at it?
