I am 4 months pregnant and have developed rashes on my stomach with burning and itching, which seem like PUPPP rash. This is my second pregnancy. What treatment or remedies are safe for me?
Rashes with itching and burning during pregnancy can be due to PUPPP, which is uncomfortable but usually harmless for both mother and baby. You can manage it with calming measures like applying moisturiser or calamine lotion, wearing loose cotton clothes, and avoiding heat or harsh soaps. Cool baths or cold compresses can also reduce itching. Avoid self-medication, and consult your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and ensure the treatment is safe for you and your baby.
