PUPPP - In Pregnancy

Some women when they are pregnant they get viruses that only pregnant women get. When I was 7 months I got PUPPP ( Pruritic Urticarial Papules of pregnancy ) it is a virus that only 1 out 100 pregnant women get and it is the worse rash that I have ever had and you can get from head to toe and It is very itchy and nothing seems to take it away the itching and the redness. I looked all over the internet for someone that might have had the same thing that I did I found only one web page that helped and if you have it and the creams and stuff that the Doctors gave did not work I recommend that you try dandelion tea. The tea only takes way the itch and some of the redness if you stop taking the tea the rash and the itching will return. You can get it at some health food stores. The tea takes all toxins out of your body and its safe to us when you are pregnant and safe if you have any medical problem or if you are taking medications.

Symptoms of PUPPP
  • Spots or bumps that itch badly and they are red.
  • The rash or bumps start on the stomach and can start in stretch marks and it spreads up and down the body.
  • Some women have had the virus early in pregnancy and some get it after 34 weeks.
  • After labour all symptom should disappear and skin should go back to normal. Labour is the only way to completely get rid of the virus.
