Sudden Unexplainable Rash, Could It Be Dh?

[Guest cassidy]

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and last night I got an itchy rash on my legs. Now it is on my arms and I have no idea what it could be. I don't have any of my normal glutening symptoms, nor have I eaten anything questionable, but I just don't know what the rash could be. My husband does eat gluten, so there is always a chance of cc, but it doesn't usually happen.

They are small little red bumps, some have white tops, and they have peaks in the center of the bumps. They are extremely itchy. They are on the inside of my calves, the front of my thighs and my wrists. They seem to be getting worse by the minute.

I scratched one of them open and it oozed a little, but not very much.

Could this be dh? Could I suddenly have it even if I don't feel like I've been glutened?

Oddly enough, I just got the same thing! The DH thing was my first thought as well - dreadfully. Most of it seems to be going away though, thankfully.

Weird. I wonder if the weather/seasons have any effect on this. In any case I hope it clears up for both of us soon!

Could be a common problem in pregnant women. It's called PUPP. Read this link. Hope this helps you. Good luck!
