PUPPS?

I know I haven't posted in a while - I'll post an update here in a minute. But I'm just curious what the symptoms of PUPPS actually are? I can't seem to find much on the internet or even webmd about it. But my belly is itching SO badly lately it's driving me crazy! And now it has gone from itching to tingly/sore... like when I stand in the shower, the warm watcher stings it and trying to scratch it makes it sting. It's horrible!

Does this sound like PUPPS or somethinge else??

I don't know anything about PUPPPS first hand, but I found a couple of links that might be helpful. The last one is a site with photos.

Thanks! There are three P's in it.. .that's why I wasn't finding anything!

 

I go to the Dr. tomorrow, but I've diagnosed myself with this horrible itchy rash! Have you found any relief yet?

 

OHMYGOD, I had PUPPS and it was terrible. It started on my stomach, little tiny tiny red bumps that itched like mosquito bites on steroids. The more you scratched the worse it got, the itch was so terrible that the only thing that helped was to scratch it so hard that it HURT, and that pain was better to deal with than the itch. I tried creams, lotions, an Rx from my doc, nothing helped.

Then I researched online and found out about Dandelion Root ... I found it at a healthstore and took the caspsules and within a few days it was almost 100 percent gone!!! Definitely try that if you have PUPPS, it was the only thing that helped and I wouldn't wish PUPPS on anyone.

I've been using aveeno skin relief body wash two or three times a day and hydrocortisone cream and it seems to be helping a lot. I'm having the itching and little bumps on my legs and feet now too though. Ugh!

 

I don't have little bumps but my belly is soooooooo itchy the past week or so. I feel like I'm gonna scratch my skin off.
