Wow I am dealing with the same thing at this moment. I have spent over $200 on lotions creams anti itch junk & just keep slathering it all over till I look like a greasy mess. My OB has no idea why I am itchy. The cold showers help but who wants to take a cold shower in the darn winter? my skin gets raised & red from itching & I am living on benadryill. I had been on steroids before in my life for various medical conditions & swore to my self I would never again take them unlyess it was life or death but this itching comes close lol. Good luck to you & know theirs is someone itching along with you lol.

I know what ya mean out the $200 bucks on creams! My ob at first had no idea what this was as it wasn't so bad and by then it was 3 in the afternoon and I had already gone through a tube of anti itch cream and then today I could actually see how bad they felt for me.

If the benadryll dont seem to be doing it ask your ob about the anti hystimine adarax, This has been a god sent to the itch.

I have been having skin issues too :( not nearly to that degree though. I get welts and marks from every little thing I touch or get scratched by. lotion helps with the itching sort of but I wish my skin wasn't so sensitive!

Where did they start on you? I have had one nurse say that it looked like I might have atypical PUPPS (arms & breasts) and as of yesterday my back, but when I called my doc to try to get an earlier appointment I was told that "it couldn't be that because it wouldn't show up there".

So, I'm trying to figure out if PUPPS is ALWAYS at baby belly/ stretch marks.

I agree and thats what I told my dr that I refuse to live like this and I simply can not go on any longer.
