PUPPP Rash Treatment - #7428
I’m currently in my third trimester of pregnancy, and a few weeks ago, I started experiencing this incredibly itchy rash all over my belly. It’s gotten worse over time and is now spreading to my thighs and arms. After some research, I discovered this condition might be PUPPP rash (pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy), which seems common for first-time moms like me. I’ve tried basic remedies like calamine lotion and oatmeal baths, but the relief is temporary, and the itching is driving me crazy. I don’t want to use steroid creams unless absolutely necessary. Are there any effective PUPPP rash treatments in Ayurveda that are safe during pregnancy? I’ve read that cooling herbs like neem and sandalwood can help with skin inflammation. Can these be used topically for PUPPP rash treatment? Are there any Ayurvedic oils or pastes that soothe itching and reduce redness? Additionally, I’m wondering if my diet could be contributing to this. I’ve seen suggestions that reducing pitta dosha could help manage skin issues. Should I avoid spicy and oily foods or include specific cooling foods to help with PUPPP rash treatment? If anyone here has dealt with PUPPP rash during pregnancy, I’d love to know what worked for you. Did you use natural remedies or Ayurvedic therapies? How long did it take for the rash to improve, and did it completely go away after delivery?
