Hey Mamas!
Im 21 weeks pregnant and have a lovely rash - on one bum cheek. Its only on my right bum cheek, not a single spot on my left, and has moved up to my lower back, all the way across. My poor bum cheek is in full force, but the lower back doesn't seem to have it as bad. Random spots here and there up my trunk, but nothing like the cheek.
I was thinking possibly PUPPP but there are no spots in any stretchmarks and they started on my bum. They're not itchy or bothering me, they're just embarrassing. Poor partner hasn't seen his much loved booty in a while, too shame to show him! They're rather red and raised, and they've become quite dry and scaly - much like Psoriasis. I dont believe its Cholestasis as I have had it for over a week and its not on my hands or feet, and my Midwife wasnt concerned over the phone, but obviously didnt see it as it can become quite inflamed.
Im booked in to see my GP in 8 days, but until then im just wanting to know if this is common or if any other mum's have experienced the bum cheek bumps. If you did, how did you get rid of it? I have been using MooGoo Eczema and Psoriasis cream on it.. for the day lol x

Not shingles is it? I'd definitely get it checked out with the GP xx
I had this too, doctor told me to use an acne wash. It eventually went, then came back a few years later then went again. Mine also spread to the top of my thighs. I haven't had it for ages now.
