Rash during pregnancy

View

2,059

Most rashes during pregnancy are unrelated to your pregnancy but there are a few pregnancy conditions that do cause rashes.🧐  


Atopic eruption of pregnancy (AEP)

🤰Symptoms

AEP includes three conditions, atopic dermatitis (eczema), pruritic folliculitis, and prurigo. An outbreak of AEP on your arms, legs🦵 or torso can be extremely itchy. 

Eczema often appears red🔴 or purple with small bumps and flaky skin. These itchy bumps are grouped, appear thickened and may have a crust. Pruritic folliculitis looks like tiny pimple bumps while prurigo may look like bug bites and dome-shaped papules at the beginning.🙁 

🤰Treatment

AEP is treated with topical medication and oral antihistamines. Sometimes oral steroids can be prescribed.💊 Consult with your doctor carefully to have the most accurate diagnosis.


Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques (PUPPP)

🤰Symptoms

You may feel itchy like crazy at the beginning. PUPPP appears first on your belly or around stretch marks you have, then further spreads to your thighs🦵, buttocks, back, arms💪 and legs. PUPPP doesn't really affect the area above your chest. 

🤰Treatment

You are often given a topical ointment or oral antihistamine. Sometimes oral steroids can also be prescribed if the doctor finds it necessary.💊👩‍⚕️


Pemphigoid gestationis

🤰Symptoms

Pemphigoid gestationis is an autoimmune disease, which means your immune system attacks your own organs, creating intensely itchy rash that turns into large, blistering lesions.🙁 The outbreak begins around the belly buttons and travels to other parts of your trunk, arms💪 and legs🦵, including your palms and soles. 

🤰Treatment  

This condition is often treated with oral steroids. You ask your doctor for an accurate diagnosis.💊👩‍⚕️
