Raised red rash on belly! :o(

moomoo · May 8th, 2009, 16:27 PM

Im a bit worried as ive got a raised red rash on my tummy. I just went to get in the bath and noticed it.. not sure whether to ring NHS direct or if its normal??

Its not anywhere else on my body, just on my belly up to my boobs

i had this and it turned out i was allergic to the antibiotics i was on for an uti. doctor wasnt too keen on giving me anything for it but i ended up using hydrocortizone cream and it kinda helped but it only seemed to clam down a while after i stopped taking antibiotics. the one i was taking were ceffradine (sp)

My sister had an awful rash come up with one of her pregnancies; she went to the GP's who referrred her to a dermotologist who gave her some wicked cream that cleared it all up, but she had to use it all thru the pregnancy.

So I would say if you have no temperature and feel OK, don't panic, but it wouldn't hurt to see the GP anyway as you may need some cream if it doesn't clear up or calm down anytime soon. x

is it possible it could be heat rash at all hon?
if not i'd just go to the docs asap?- could be a mild allergic reaction- but in my case (im allergic to quite a few things) that usually means its really itchy
hope that helps

it gud jst be due to hormone change. Sure its nothing to worry about. My skin is alot more sensitive in pregnancy 2.

My friend had this and it turned out to be nothing - just one of those things - It went within 2 weeks but she had tess for chicken Pox etc.

Hope yours clears up. x

I've got this appearing in between my joints and on my neck. It's eczema, I had it as a child and through puberty but it seems to make a reappearance through pregnancy with me. Is yours itchy at all? If it is eczema a good cream from doctors clears it up and stops it itching. If its itchy put a cold compress on it but don't scratch it.

I had this too x & it was just on my tummy & was really itchy, turns out I'm allergic to the hypo-allergenic suitable for most skin types pure vitamin E oil

I stopped using it & started using Cocoa butter instead & its slowly started to fade & has now gone completely x
I would see your GP if it doesnt go down in a few days x
