Oh it was more than irritating. I honestly cried from the itch! It was really that bad

Thankfully it is yesterday’s news now. And pray it won’t return, but some Mothers get it after delivery… :s

Hey, sorry to hear that you had to go through that….sounds really irritating! Mine is probably a minor case; they’re tiny red bumps like pimples and itch sometimes. I hope it’s ok for you now and that it won’t return.

Rashes… every pregnant women nightmare! But yours sound manageable. Thankfully! Mine was the real PUPPP deal. It was islands and islands of evil itchiness. I couldn’t even see my normal skin

Hello…. I had rashes too… those with mosquito like bumps… and when i scratch it, the bump will increase it geographical size ie like ant bite…! It comes out most when I sleep/nights/warm… i rely on calamine lotion as well…. didnt see doctor… ride thru it for about 1 1/2 weeks… I was like a monkey.

The cream is helping, but slow… And the scars makes you want to cry! The bumps on my belly is starting to itch more now too

If you want to avoid these crazy rash, I reckon to skip the cream. But your skin could be different from mine. These pesky red bumps are now growing on my belly too You won’t believe this but I walk around with an ice pack on my breast at home to sooth the itching and burning. There are now big patches of burn-liked scars on both *sobs*

Agree… about the hyper sensitivity…. I am so high strung now… with my 24 hours nausea it is no fun… and am so wonky…

I started applying Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Stretch Mark Lotion last month. 3 weeks back I noticed these tiny red bumps on my breast and now it has invaded both entirely. Itches like crazy with no mercy!! Dr Tan said if I continue, it will spread to wherever I am applying the lotion. So I stopped this morning.

You can start the creams anytime now. I just hope you don’t get the rash like I did. Once you notice any funny red marks, stop immediately. Our skin are hyper sensitive during pregnancy, hence if it gets rashes, it’s too late to cry. Trust me, the itch has no mercy. I am still itching like mad now

Hey… just to check with you… are you applying any creams to avoid stretch marks? How early I should start with those? I am very lazy person… wash face with water/soap or shampoo …. no 3 stop thingy.
