I am 15w6d pregnant and developed a rash on my knuckles and wrist and my legs and its so annoying and itchy. What could this be? Any suggestion will be a great help! Thanks. ↓

It could just be dry skin, or are you possibly having an allergic reaction to soemthing?I ahve Excema so my skin has been like that my whole life, but i think that it's possible to get some skin problems from pregnancy. Probably nothing to worry about but I would mention it to your doctor. ↑

I am struggling with something similar, and doctor doesn't know anything about it, asks if I've changed laundry soap, lotion, etc. I havent changed anything. Look up PUPPP- Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP). I suppose this may be what we have- but who knows!!! Benedryl helps, and my doc said it's safe to take. Take care, m. ↑
