i am 8 weeks pregnant and developed a very itchy rash on my face (no where else). Any insight??

Question:

the rash started 5 days ago around my mouth, then covered my chin, then went along my jawline and now it is covering my cheeks. Other little areas on my face itch as well (eyebrows/forehead), but not as intense as the cheeks. Very wierd how it has migrated around my face but hasn't appeared anywhere else on my body. Cortizone cream has helped a little, but not much. I've read about PUPPP (abdomen rash late in pregancy), which this clearly isn't.HELP.

This is a link to a website which talks about the many rashes women can get while they are pregnant. I hope this helps.

When i was preg. i had a bad rash between my shoulder blades and between my breasts. i went to the dr. 3 times. (I was sure i was dying!!LOL) They didn't know what it was, they said preg. women often develop strange rashes due to hormones. all they gave me was the cortisone cream. it lasted for about 3 wks, and as sudden as it came up, it was gone. They also said, to try not to scratch it. My neighbor recommended oatmeal baths, but i never did so i don't know if it'll help. I'm itching just thinking about it. Good luck!

The doctors usually call the redness on your face a "pregnancy mask". It usually goes away once the baby is born. Consult your doctor and then get the book "What to Expect When You Are Expecting". It is a guideline of what to expect when, in your pregnancy.

It is not 100% accurate in it's timeframes and quite possibly not everything in it will pertain to you. It is not the author's fault. No 2 pregnancies are the same. It does gove good insight as to what to expect.when you are expecting.
