Skin issues

Hi, my friend had a baby a few months ago, she started getting skin blotches/rash during pregnancy and since has gotten worse. Doctors have referred her to dermatologist but she can’t get appointment till October, has anyone had anything like this pregnancy related if so what helped?! Thanks xx

Looks like ringworm has she been to the pharmacy?

They’ve treated her twice for ring worm! Still not gone 😕

discoid eczema?

I did!! It didn’t look exactly like this but similar. It was really bad at the end of my pregnancy and after I gave birth. I just used natural moisturisers on it(beef tallow being one of them) but I’m 10 months pp and still have a little on my arm. I think it is called PUPP rash? Initially started on my stretch marks

Could be psoriasis? Its autoimmune so could be set off by a big hormonal change like childbirth.

Looks like a fungal rash x

You can check to see if it’s ringworm by seeing if it glows under a black light 🤔 at least you’d know if it’s that or not going forward.

Looks like discoid eczema as someone has said above. I’ve had terrible flare up on eczema on my hands since I gave birth and also this type on my arms and legs. I’ve got steroid cream from the GP
