Using Perfume While Pregnant
Rash on neck and arms during pregnancy?
ok, so I’m 24wks pregnant tomorrow, and for the past week I was getting a real itchy rash on my neck. It would go away after I put lotion on it (cocoa butter, that I’ve been using for years) Well, now it’s not going away and it’s traveled down my left upper arm and tiny little red dots on both my lower arms. I feel itching on my back right now, but I’m at work so I cant really take my shirt off to look! It’s itches sooo bad!
I haven’t changed anything! Not laundry soap, not lotion, or perfume.. no new clothes no new jewelry… nothing! I was going to put some caladryl lotion on it, but stupid me forgot to bring it with me. I’ll prob call my DR in a little while when the office opens, but any suggestions as to what this might be? Should I be concerned about it, or is it just another joy of pregnancy???
Thank you!
i had this happen with my last one. My hormones just caused a changed in my body, which is known to happen during pregnancy. I wouldn’t worry too much, it stinks I know but probably isn’t anything to worry about.
I changed my lotion to help cope with it, as well as my soaps, laundry detergent and such. Went to dye-free, hypoallergenic types. It seemed to help.
Your doctor will probably have you come in just to double check and make sure there isn’t something wrong. Mine did but when it turned out to be nothing he just told me to change my lotions and such and it helped. He said if that didn’t help he would prescribe something to help with any allergy I may have developed during pregnancy. It went away about 3 weeks after I had my son.
Hope you get to feel better. If you don’t have anything in the house to help, try oatmeal. It works for chicken pox, it helped me until I could get everything changed out.
