Hi all,
I've got annoying red spots mostly on my tummy, but some are occasionally on my breasts as well. They started appearing after 20-22 weeks, but they're worse now (I'm 33 weeks). There's practically NO itching!
The spots are small, usually no puss in them, except for very few, they aren't very raised, mainly near and above the belly button, up to my breasts.
My GP did the liver function test - it appears to be normal.
He suggested Egoderm ointment - doesn't seem to be working.
I've seen a dermatologist - he just said it is a rash related to pregnancy and prescribed me Celestone-M Cream to apply twice a day. I've just stopped using it after 2 weeks - I thought it didn't make any difference, but it seems like after I've stopped applying it, the spots got worse almost immediately...
Every since I noticed the problem, I've been using Cetaphil gel in the shower.
I've also just bought a Pinetarsol gel to try...
Maybe I'm just too impatient and should stick to one treatment for a month or so. Or just wait till after the baby is born. But it is SOOOO annoying.... I want the tummy to look nice, not spotty!
All the Internet search always gives me results about terrible itching and rash, but my spots don't make me scratch, just drive me up the wall because of the way I look like!
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
