Anyone experienced this?

Hi, I’m currently 21 weeks pregnant and have noticed I have this type of rash on my left and ride side of my bump. Does anyone know what this is or what I should do? My first baby so not experienced this before

Ohh babe definitely stretch marks they will show better after birth

It’s stretch marks coming

@Christelle how is it not a thing?

It's pupps rash I had it with my first but it was all over my body

Celery juice drink that it should help

It’s a normal hormone rash

It’s a pregnancy rash had it my first trimester

I have these on both boobs they are so itchy

What is pupps? Can someone please explain me?😢

Ugh this brought back memories even though it was just back in May/June I had PUPPS. I got it again postpartum too 😫😩

I had something similar but a lot worse towards the end of my pregnancy, it’s to do with your skin over stretching - which is normal. I used dermacool cream which is the best thing if it’s itching, it contains menthol which helps to sooth it. Your dr may suggest you get a blood test done to just to make sure it’s not related to your liver function.

I have it all over my chest too

That's stretch marks. Mosturize the area a lot !. Cocoa Tummy butter from Palmer's worked beautifully on me.

It’s not stretch marks it’s a pregnancy rash

That’s how my stretch marks started

Use the aveeno oatmeal bath packets. My doctor told me to use this in the bath and make a paste and put it on my rash for about 15 min. It actually really helped along with my burst bees belly butter

Hey 👋🏻 I had this when I was pregnant it was itchy too was pupps rash doctor prescribed me a cream to calm it down xx

I got mine from itching and not using the stretch mark cream but don't itch it or it will get worse

are you having a boy? the sure way to know is to go to a dermatologist and get a skin scrape tested for pupps

Watch what you eat watch your bump it is the baby having an allergic reaction to something you ate

That’s not a thing

@Jes'Mari Jessica Maria rubbish!

Try www.purehaven.com/KatherinePriest for dream cream... I am rash queen. Allergies to everything. Rash appears and cream forv2 days, rash gone

Hey 👋 looks like Pupp rash I had this on bump and legs later on- pop to doctor and grab some cooling creams and don’t use perfume bath products xx

I was just going to say that! It totally looks like Pupps

I had this a few times! My doctor prescribed a cream for allergy and it helped! (Every time I had this the feeling was like burning me, super weird.) but the allergy medicine worked.

In the beginning I thought it was stretch marks but mine would disappear and appear every other day.. like I said, the allergy cream + medicine worked for me. And I didn’t have any stretch marks at all!

I had his when I was pregnant I never had a thing on my belly until week 30+ and at 38 weeks til birth I started getting more visible stretch marks , I would recommend using Monet it’s vegan and it’s good for ur skin u can get it on Mercari for cheaper than the girls on IG 😅 I got mine and I started using and my marks have gotten a lot lighter

You shouldn't buy retail products off market. They could be expired. Plus that breaks about 5 laws

If it's crazy itchy with bumps it could be puppps. I recommend pine tar soap and my doctor prescribed hydroxyzine for the itching. I had it all over my body though so it was kind of a chore putting cream on it. If it's just stretch marks, apply lotion 2 times a day.

Definitely stretch marks coming in. Get your moisturizer ready. It’s about to get itchy

This is how it looked for me when I first started to get stretch marks, maybe it could be that?

I agree with what someone said earlier, it looks like PUPPS! Use grandpas pine tar soap and it will get a lot better!!!

It looks like stretch marks beginning to develop... I tried almost every oil.. at the beginning I was so concerned that I will end up with a ton, but it got to a point where I could care less about looks but annoyed how itchy it got.. so irritating... oil def. Helps to reduce and once the redness go away its not so noticeable. So don't worry too much about it and enjoy your pregnancy 😉

Exactly !!

Looks like the beginning of stretching, make sure you’re using a moisturizer frequently and it should calm down any irritation. If you scar easily, be hyper vigilant about using vitamin E as well!

I am currently covered in a rash, as I cannot actually SEE a doctor I spoke to one & he said it is a fungal infection. I have been prescribed creams & I'm hoping they help because I am literally climbing the walls... it's itchy & sore 🥴

I used an oil on my itchy skin. Its really common, just try to keep an eye on it!! Try to keep your skin hydrated xx

Need to expoliate the area, I will recommend mix honey and brown suger

It looks like stretch marks, bio oil is a god send 💓

Just stretch marks coming in they will be super itchy. Try and just keep lotion or coconut oil on it to help.

Hey, I had something called pupps (I think that’s how you spell it) It went from my neck to my toes and was awful if it’s the same thing and becomes really itchy and inflamed and you find clothes or other creams/oils make it worse you may need to get steroid cream to cool it avoid any other creams and a cool bath can help. Mine started like this and then became worse. It might just be stretch marks but just in case it’s the same thing thats the best thing that helped me x

I also had PUPPs very severely and had to go on a dose of prednisone because no topical creams worked! It was honestly worse than childbirth hah.

It’s awful isn’t it ! I agree birth was a breeze in comparison. I told them the cream wasn’t working for me and I went through a tube in about 2 days and was told “it’s something you will have until you give birth “ so had to get on with it basically 😂 so would have loads of cold baths all the time 😂 x

Girl start putting some cocoa butter on! That's the beauty of being a mom!!

Moisturize with a heavy oil 2-3x a day and fresh 2-3min prior to your shower.

Pat pat pat!! No itching!!

Pat it don't scratch it! I used vitamin e oils and cocoa butter and literally slathered it all over my belly .

Yes, for me it in the beginning was stressed ... later on when I was 25 weeks it was a heat rush after a hot day in the car front seat.

Stretch Mark's

Ugh no I went through this! My legs were so itchy and looked like this. Next few days they were stretch marks all over my thighs and legs...

Don’t scratch it cause now my legs look very tragic lol.

Under my breasts looks like this kind of. I think it is stretch marks.

I looked something like that up. I read it's normal in pregnancy. Have you been itching at all?! Talk to you doctor when you get a chance the doctor will help you out send you to a doctor that can help.

And don't itch! 😩 its a hard one but fight the urge

Ooo also when you lotion up or oil up do it in the bathroom as soon as your out of the shower that's when your body will absorb the moisture best

Stretched skin this highly looks like said before like stretch marks forming. Plenty fluids plenty moisturiser all.day.long.

Also try staying hydrated, drink lots of water cause that will help your skin stay healthy...I know it gets annoying with having to pee alot but it can help save you from stretch marks

Stretch marks forming for sure, it’s how they start, don’t worry just put some moisturiser on x

Lowkey I think its stretch marks...rub some oil everywhere on your belly..I've heard even some calamine lotion will help take the itch away if it is some kind of rash
