Am In Full Term Of Pregnancy. Have Blotches On The Legs, Are Dry. Will These Scars & Itchiness Go After Birth?
Hi! I am in my last month of pregnancy and full term. I have PUPPP, most is on my legs and stomach and a bit on my arms. I used Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap to relieve the itch and been showering more than 2 times a day. The welts on my legs have formed into blotches and is very dry. Just wondering if all these scars and itchiness go away after giving birth?
Hi, Thanks for writing in. You can apply good quality moisturizer with shea butter and coco butter twice a day.It will relieve the itching.The condition should resolve after giving birth.Itching will go away immediately but scars and marks may take long time to go. A visit to dermatologist will allow proper diagnosis and treatment.
Hope this helps. Regards DrSudarshan MD Dermatology
