Itchy rashes in 7weeks+

Hi all,I am new here and find this community really helpful and knowledge with all kind of support.

I am 7 weeks+ since Saturday night I had rash particularly on my neck and back little itchy and after and I applied talcum powder then immediately it disappears as if it was never there,it is reccuring since then and goes.

I am freaking what this could be,all the meds I am taking are all the same though the dosages were changed so I am thinking it can't be the meds but my doctor stopped the progesterone injections and told me to have pessaries twice though.

Then yesterday I went to see some other doctor and raised my concern of injections she then put me on water based progesterone every 4thday also reduced my dose.

Has this happened to any of you and was everything alright in the end. What this could be?

Any help,suggestions would be appreciated.

I had an itchy rash a few weeks ago rung the GP said I had woken up with a rash and was pregnant they gave me a F2F appointment the same day turned out it was viral they percribed me a low dose antihistamine which can only be taken once a day it helped. Give your GP a call as your pregnant you will get priority they can check your rash and may give you something to help. Hope you feel better soon x

Hi thanks for the reply,what kind of rash you had if you don't mind telling and I went to the clinic next day and was prescribed cetrizine once day.In how many days you were ok and how many far are you in your pregnancy?

Sorry, too many questions but just want to find out the solution.

Did your clinic it is not going to harm the baby?

Had already been discharged from the clinic by then, was around 18 weeks at the time. The GP said no harm to baby and that it is common in pregnancy to get viral rashes as our immune system is so focused on proceting baby there's not much left to protect us. Was told it could take upto 2 weeks to clear and could come back. But was just over a week and rash disappeared for me. I think it was cetrizine I was given too. Try not to worry if it was anything to harmful the clinic would of told you. X
