Hi all im 20 weeks and have noticed a red bumpy rash that is extremley itchy appear on some stomach. I think it is puppps rash after reading the signs but going to check with doctors tomorrow, anyone else experiencing this? As think the bio oi or/and palms oil is actually making the redness/itch worse

i had the same in pregnancy and stopped using palmer's cream. doctor prescribed cetaphil lotion and i had to keep the area moisturised all the time. just don't scratch it with your nails or fingers, it leaves marks. take a wash cloth and rub with it. i remember being itchy specially at night and my DH used to point out not to itch without opening his eyes :D

I head the same as Beany. I had a reaction to Palmer's butter as well. I started to use organic shea butter and all itchiness was gone. Shea butter is apparently very good for pregnancy stretch marks and it's 100% natural. I use it as a diaper cream for my LO now. I'd stop using whatever you're using now and see if it gets better.
