I just did a bit of a search through some old posts etc and it looks like I have PUPPP....lovely! I need some steriod cream, but given the time of year I have had no luck getting an appointment with a GP - will try the calamine as a 'stop-gap' measure.

Interesting point to note...apparently 70% of women who get PUPPP have boys - DH is now delighted that I am scratching like a flea infested dog and has been rethinking the boys name list!

I think maybe a lemonade icy pole will make me feel better........stuff that, time for a nice cold light beer shandy!
