spots on tummy
Hi guys!
I have just gone 14weeks and have had spots on my tummy and sides for the last 4-5 weeks. I showed the GP and she said it wasnt eczema or psoriasis and she wasn't sure what it was. They aren't itchy or painful just there. There are a couple that are about the size of a 20c coin and are just an outline and the rest are just red dots or strips. Has anyone else had this and what can I do to get rid of it? As I said it's not at all itchy or sore, just unsightly! Any help would be great! Thank you

hey jumping in on this thread.. i am 19 wks pregnant and have something similar to this on my right shoulder?? not sure if it is ringworm but cant for the life of me figure out how i got that??? or maybe psoriasis as it isnt itchy and i have read that ringworm is really itchy? i was hoping that someone else might have experienced something like this during pregnancy?

If your belly is expanding, then my guess would be that the dots are sort of part of the skin stretching - I've had that before. As for the shoulder - beats me. All I know is that with a suppressed immune system during pregnancy, skin can do some funny things. Could be some sort of weird rash, but I don't know what I'd do about it apart from keep it moisturised if it's dry and keep an eye on it. If your GP doesn't know what it is...:dunno: The body can be a random thing during pregnancy.

Hey,
Had my appointment with the obs yesterday and showed her my 'spots'. She was unsure as to what they were and called in another doc who was also a bit perplexed. They ended up prescribing me a cream called Kenacomb. After one application they were almost gone! Amazing! Hope you are all well!
