Mine broke out really bad in the begining of pregnancy when I was like 8-12 weeks, mine stopped tho at 16 weeks and has been gone since hopefully yours will go away soon too
I think just about every pregnant woman has a bit of eczema (rashes) during pregnancy, I've had the same rash between my boobs, under my armpits sometimes.. cortizone 10 will take away the itch!
Two red blotches appeared on chest. Five days later, after using Dial soap, my chest and stomach were covered in red bumps. They aren't itchy and don't bother me except for their appearance. Could these be from allergies? Should I go to the doctor?

I find my skin dries out like crazy during pregnancy ( my hair too). Once I'm dry out of the shower my skin gets almost crusty and I have to slather myself with lotion. Best thing I've found is to not shower as often (I try to go every 3 days), not have the water as hot, and put lotion on while your skin is still damp to seal in the moisture. I've gotten a few itchy/hives areas too but they go away in a day or so when I'm lotioning like crazy. Coconut oil may also help.
Hello,
The small itchy bumps on your fingers can be due to contact dermatitis or dyshidrotic eczema. For the itchy bumps, take antihistaminics like Benadryl(causes drowsiness) and Claritin and apply some calamine lotion on the rashes as it helps in soothing the skin.You can also apply mild steroid cream on the rash.If the symptoms persists then oral steroids may be needed which are available on prescription.
Also keep the area well moisturized with good moisturiers.
Hey everyone, I'm 23 weeks and have very itchy skin all of the sudden. These little bumps just appeared over night and are extremely itchy. Is anyone else having these issues?
This problem has been nothing more than annoying, itchy skin. But I have developed a more serious problem on my groin. My upper thighs are also itchy, and for about 2-3 weeks have now been covered in red bumps that range in size from pimples to bug bits. The large bumps have also appeared on my scrotum and my penis. I have been using calamine lotion and hydrocortisone as an attempt to treat it, but have noticed little progress in healing the problem (only limiting the itchiness).
I have a small itchy bumps on the palms of my hands, and fewer on the tops of my hands. They are very red in the morning and itch very badly in the middle of the night and in the morning. Then during the day the redness fades and they become less itchy. There seem to be more and more bumps everyday. I also had the same kind of rash on my stomach, but that has disappeared, though my stomach still itches.
During the summer months, I get small itchy blisters on the arches of both feet. The blisters come in groups of 2-5 and they are very itchy. When I burst them, a clear liquid is released and the itchy desists. The burst skin then dries and peels. I have been getting these for many years and would like to find a permannent cure.
I try not to scratch because that obviously irritates the skin more and turns it red. I also have an odd patch of bumps on my scalp. The bumps on my scalp have been there for quite some time. They itch and are very red and Im not sure what to do about it. I havent changed anything in my daily living to out of the norm. I use the same soaps and lotions that I always have so I dont think its an allergic reaction.
Hello,
It is true that gall bladder disease can be aggravated during pregnancy. The high levels of hormones (estrogens) in pregnancy cause the bile to be much thicker, thus increasing the tendency of gallstones to form. In addition, other hormones (progesterone) inhibit the gallbladder's normal ability to contract, further increasing the likelihood of stone formation. Gall bladder surgery can be delayed upto child birth but if the symptoms are severe, then an urgent surgery may be needed.
There are 3 semi big bumps on the front of my vagina on the outer skin that itch and scab over and a bunch of very tiny bumps on my lower butt. Also, the crack is very itchy. I do have a hemroid, but I have had it for over a year now and have never experienced itching. I am also known to have eczema. I noticed the bit on my stomach is breaking out during this time too. On my vagina there has been major itching near the clit and opening.
i then noticed a few pearly looking bumps about the same time on the front side of my shaft, i tried to pop these as well but they arent filled with anything and end up leaving a red sore so i stopped. i do have one near the head of my penis though that is irritating, its in the soft part of my skin and when erect during sex can end up being uncomfortable at times, when i touch it, it feels a bit sore and one time the skin around the bump seemed to become dry and irritated, maybe from sex.
Hi
There is a common skin condition called hives or urticaria, which causes red and sometimes itchy bumps on your skin. Hives can occur anywhere on the body such as the trunk, arms, and legs.
Hives are usually allergic (food, medication and insect stings) but may also be due to infections and stress. Many a times no specific cause for them is ever found.
They usually go away on their own.
A month ago, I got these little red dots on my back and stomach. they're really itchy. suddenly, they've transferred into my arms and legs. after sometime they're gone, my skin became "chicken skin". and now when I feel itchy and scratched my legs, red itchy bumps will appear. They're like mosquito bites. But when I stop scratching, they will be gone after few minutes. What could these be?
I have had itchy bumps on my skin for the past five months. They started with just one bump and have continued to spread. They are mostly confined to my back and chest, however I have some on my arms and legs. The bumps are not red and are not noticable when they start itching. The bumps will eventually go away. I have seen four doctors and none have helped my problem.
