Rash During Pregnancy

I developed ithcy legs after I shaved my legs 2 weeks ago. It has gotten progressively worse. My legs are now covered in red spots. I itch them until they bleed and then they scab and i do it all over again. It is terrible. I have tried Benadryl, Calamine, and every other OTC anti-itch cream, including hydocortisone cream. My OB is out of town and my PCP can't seem me for a few days. Has anyone expirenced this and if so what did you take?

Horrible Rash on Tummy and Back~UPDATED

My 16 month-old son woke up this morning with this awful rash all over his tummy, under arms, and some on his back and in his diaper area. He did have a small heat reash last night, but just a few bumps and no color. His rash now is raised and bright red. It doesn't seem to bother him, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. He does has asthma and ezcema(sp) so I put some of that lotion on it, but his doctor's office is closed until Monday. We haven't introduced any new foods so I don't believe it's an alergic reaction, but he's never...

Hemorrhoids ... Help

I just had my 3rd child and although I did not suffer from hemorrhoids during the pregnancy of Baby #3 or immediately following delivery, I am suffering horribly since I started breastfeeding. Is there a connection between breastfeeding and hemorrhoids? Any advice? I know about drinking water and eating fiber although my son has reflux and gas issues so I am concerned about adding more fiber to my diet. Also, has anyone out there had them removed? Worth it? I thought about it after my first child but I have been told to wait until you are...

Itchy Rash During Pregnancy (?? Prurigo??)

I'm 13 weeks pregnant with our second baby, and last Thursday I started having an itchy rash on random spots of my body. They look like tiny little bumps (sometimes the color of my skin and other times more inflamed and red). The bumps started on the backs of my hands and now it's on my forearms, hips, and inner thighs. Sometimes the itching is so bad that it wakes me up. I saw my Ob Gyne b/c I was wondering if it was pregnancy related since nothing else is new and I haven't done anything different (i.e. foods, detergents, lotions, etc). ...
