I have been diagnosed with PUPPS since 6weeks of pregnancy. I have seen a dermatologist, she placed me on prednisone and steroid cream. It has subsided right after the meds. But now at 28 weeks, I am still suffering. Its worse when I am on my feet, my legs swell, and the itching gets bad. Every night, I itch. I find that if I rub my legs with ICE it numbs the itch..

I was told that this will last until the pregnancy is over.

Sometimes I get so depressed, and why me?

My body is ugly with the itching. Some times I am so preoccupied in itching, and scratching.

I hope to god that my baby doesnt catch this..

HELP!!!

I have tried benadryl. Nothing works. I have tried all the oral pills for the itching. It doesnt work, the only thing that works is ice over the skin..
