Hi,

Up until a couple of days ago I didn't have any stretch marks on my belly - only a few small ones on my right hip.

A couple of days ago I noticed these lines but because they weren't great big angry red welts, I wasn't sure if they were stretchies (it's a bit hard to see atm and at first I thought they might have been more spider veins or something). Almost simultaneously I found my belly was itchy - usually when cooking or in the shower. It hasn't been itchy all pg.

Anyway - here is a photo https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...6&ppuser=12805

Does this look like PUPPS? The heat factor and look of them tell me maybe it is but since I have started to think this I have made a conscious effort not to scratch. I have been mostly successful in ignoring it which makes me think it's not PUPPS because from what I have read, it drives people to the brink of insanity and it's impossible not to scratch.
