PEP / PUPPPS rash

Sorry for long and somewhat ranty post, but curious to know if anyone has heard or suffered from this? This is my second pregnancy and first pregnancy I got it really badly about 2 weeks before due date and it only went away a week or so after birth. No midwives or doctors really seemed to know about it or how to effectively treat it, or seemed to be particularly bothered about since it isn't meant to impact baby BUT it was so insanely itchy and uncomfortable for me last time, I couldn't sleep, starting on stretch marks and slowly spreading to my arms, legs and feet.

Seems this time round again I'm starting to get the same so looking for any advice from anyone who has suffered 😭 The only thing I found to relieve the itchiness was something called grandpa's pine soap. Anything else worked for anyone?!

I had this with my first and giving birth was the only way to resolve it. With my second I didn’t have it. I don’t have any advice but just wanted to say I feel sorry for you as it’s unbelievable how itchy it is. 😭
