I am in my 8th month of pregnancy and have just started to have this horrible rash in the wierdest pattern on my body, the majority of my body including my wrists, ankles, and feet. The doctor has me taking benadryl and using a betamethosone cream. They said I would probably have this until I delivered the baby.
Okay, so what is causing this? am I going to get this every time I get pregnant? and is there anything else I can use? I have been told that tincture of Dandelion root would help my liver function and help clear this up and using olive oil on the rash would sooth it. Is it related? Which medicines or methods would be safer? I would prefer to use a more natural method as long as it worked. The itching and pain is really unbearable. When I actually scratch the rash is there a chance I am spreading it to other areas of my body?
