Before my m/c my boobs, mostly my left nipple got extremely itchy! Then they ended up dry and with a rash around the nipples and now it won't go away! My HCG levels are now back to 0 and it's been about 3 weeks since I started bleeding. I've tried lotion, body butter and even medicated stuff that I had for a rash on my arm on and nothing seems to work And, I do this several times a day, like 4 or 5! Anyone had this? What finally eased it? I mean DH likes the lotion show but it's a lil embarrassing at work!

I developed a rash on my trunk that I thought was PUPPS since it looked exactly like the pictures. I had the gyn take and she wasn't too convinced since PUPPS is uncommon in early pregnancy. They tested me for fifth's disease and it came back negative. They never found out what it was nor did I get a prescription. I did an oatmeal bath a couple times a day for a few weeks and it finally went away on it's own. Then it came back 6-7 more times and would take a week or two to clear up. At about 34 weeks preggo, we finally figured it out. Each time I would use the Palmers Cocobutter Formula, I developed a the rash - so I most likey have an allergy to something in it.

nope no clue, but if it keeps up i'd check with your dr or go see a dermatologist. Sorry, i hate boob itching!!

Sounds like a yeast infection honestly. Talk to your doctor because I don't think you can use OTC yeast infection treatments on your breasts but it may not go away without meeds of some sort.

i have no idea. You could try Lanolin. Hopefully it goes away ASAP!

Sorry Tammy - not sure.

You could even try letting the air get to it more at home.
