Re: weird rash + other odd symptoms!
Honestly, if it were me, I'd be heading to emerg or my Dr's...I'm paranoid though! Hope it clears up for you.

Re: weird rash + other odd symptoms!
I had PUPP, and what you describe sounds EXACTLY like what I had. I remember specifically having it on my wrists and how bothersome that was. It is usually something that appears in the last trimester. How far along are you? It probably doesn't itch much yet because you haven't scratched it much, but if you do scratch, it will get much worse (trust me on this). Mine showed up at about 35 weeks and lasted until 37 weeks. Oatmeal baths will help soothe the skin. I would try to go in and have the rash looked at--you could just drop by the office and have them verify that it is indeed PUPP. I'm not sure there is much that can be done for it, though. It is harmless, just really annoying. There is a liver condition that affects women in pregnancy that causes a rash and itching, but it tends to cause extreme itching all over, not just where the rash is, as well as other symptoms. Either way you should check back with the doc in a few days if it doesn't clear up.

Re: weird rash + other odd symptoms!
sounds exactly like PUPPPS to me also! Sorry, it sucks...i actually had the much more serious "itching problem", obstetric cholestasis. trust me, if it's a flip between the two....Be glad you have the PUPPPS.

Re: weird rash + other odd symptoms!
okay thanks ladies! i kinda freak out too. i haven't had a breakout since last night so today i'm okay. everything i was reading on line was saying that pupps was on the tummy and thighs around stretch marks so i was wondering how it could possibly be pupps. so thanks so much! oh and just to let you know it was the nurse that decided it was pupps not my dr specifically!
