I'm using Bio Oil (from the UK) which is awesome - feels really good on my tummy. But I have no idea if it works!

I used the Palmer's Cocoa Butter for three days and developed a rash so assumed it was an allergic reaction and stopped using it. Two weeks later with no relief, my OB sent me to a dermatologist. She too thought that it was just a reaction to the lotion and that my scratching had not allowed it to heal properly.

Well, long story short, I actually have a pregnancy rash PUPPS (do a search, too complicated to describe) that affects a small percentage of pregnancies and generally does not present itself until the third trimester. Mine showed up at about week 14 and they do not expect it will not go away until I deliver in May! Trying everything...daily Claritin, prescription Cortizone cream, Aveeno oatmeal enriched products, sleeping with socks on my hands, etc. It's moved from my stomach to my entire body, minus my face thank God! I would not wish this on my worst enemy, it's now effecting my ability to sleep at night.

Tricia can they treat PUPPS and how did they eventually diagnose? Sorry you are feeling so lousy, I can relate to it. XXXX
