I got PUPPS when pregnant with the twins. It was horrible and my stomach was covered in red lumps, and itched like crazy. It would be worse at night as the extra heat generated by having bedding over me meant my body temp would rise and make the itching worse. I slept for most of the late part of my pregnancy with my belly uncovered with cool facewashers over the worse areas.
My Ob prescribed my cortisone cream to help with the itching but it didn't really help at all. I was told that within a couple of days of the twins being born the rash would go away... In my case it got worse and took over my stretch marks and all up it took 8 weeks for it to go away. Luckily for me it didn't scar but it certainly made a hard pregnancy even harder.
Fingers crossed it is only an allergic rash and not PUPPS...
