Hi hun ive never heard of it til I read this you poor thing! Have you spoke to gp or hv? Im sorry not much help! How's you and little one doing besides the rash xx

Oh god, I didn't wana hear this as I've been suffering so badly for weeks and was looking forward to the baby coming to stop it!! Lol. I got prescribed piriton to try and help mine as they basically didn't know what to do to help me. I wasn't even able to sleep it was so bad and the piriton made me a bit dozy so it helped. It has somewhat improved since using it.... though don't know for sure it wasn't a bit of a coincidence as well as it had vaguely calmed the day before it was prescribed to me. May be worth a go? I wash with sanex so it doesn't anger it and when I do moisturise....not as often as I did before though because it aggravates it, I use cetraben from the docs again not to annoy it hope you find relief soon coz I was in hell with it x

Fatty boom try using cetraban to wash with u can use it as a wash. .I wash boys in aqueous cream as they have excema but was told I can use cetraban x

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Oh right. Yh I will.

I suffer with minor excema which I only need betnovate for in patches. But I clearly have generally sensitive skin in pregnancy! Cheers for the tip x

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Have U not used the betnovate on ur tummy? When my excema flared up on stomach and I couldn't stop itching I mixed my betnovate with cetraban to make it less potent and smothered my stomach in it after a Couple of days it had gone right down.. must admit thou my excema hasn't been too bad being pregnant...I usually get it worse than this in the summer...hope it settles down for u when baby is born. . Which I hope is very soon! Xx

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Yh I tried it but it upset it as it wasn't an excema rash. I seriously always have to be difficult lol! Yh me too!! Had pains in my belly all day but doesn't seem to be progressing as such so I guess it's nothing again!! x

I can only imagine how this feels & I guess the return of the warm weather approaching isn't helping much either.

I too have never really heard of this condition before but my guess is to keep the "rashy" area as clean & moisturised as possible ( preffably with a non perfumed lotion, or as it is getting a bit "warmer for a few days you could try putting a bit of "talc" / powder on it

Me the same never heard of this till today.it cant be heat rash unless its reaction to antibiotics i was on.but then i finished the tablets 2days ago.i will definitely ring the doctor tomorrow as i cant stop scratching.apart from that we ok. Well baby is doing well and thats all it matters,little piggy loves her milk.i hope i'll be soon fully recovered. I just forget sometimes i had c section and i start doing things and then i get pains again ...i'm not patient person.thank you for your replies. Hope u both ok xx

Must Be ur hormones... speak to ur g.p get some creams that u can wash and moisturise with and get some oilatum the creams the drs prescribe have no purfumes in...I suffer with excema so know how u feel xx

[Neska]

I put some double base on as dont have anything else right now.my son has excema and his dad psiorasis but i didnt wanna use their stuff yet.i'll definitely ring gp 2moro cos right now my arms are so red from scratching.my pregnancy wasnt great and i was hoping that after i have my daughter i'll feel myself again.but it looks like i have long way to go still xx

[DrFluffy]

No, but my psoriasis is terrible post-partum :-(. Have a patch on my left breast, which is a massive pain as I can't really put anything on it with BF

Hope you feel less itchy v soon x

[Neska]

I've seen gp and its not postpartum pupps.she thinks its reaction to antibiotics i was on few days ago for UTI (trimethoprim 200mg)or morphine or codeine.so i'm on fexofenadine hydrochloride 120mg and need to use double base million times a day.hopefully that will help.can you use something for psoriasis when breastfeeding drFluffy ?i mean like a shower wash? I can imagine how annoying that can be.hopefully it will settled down xx
