This is what I have. I went to the dermatologist last week and it turns out I have Pityriasis Rosea. I really wasn't impressed with the dermatologist because it seemed everytime I had a question about my rashes relating to my pregnancy, he would just brush me off and said the two had nothing to do with eachother. Now when I was pregnant with Nadia I got the rash on my face, feet, and hands and now about 2 weeks after I found out I was pregnant this time the rash appears and they are not related? After a while, I just wanted him to tell what I had and what (if anything) could be done to cure it. Turns out there is nothing that can be done. I just have to wait it out. It could take weeks to months to go away. He gave me something for the itching and offered me a pill to take but I passed on the pill once he told me there was no guarantee the rash would go away any sooner and that there was "no known evidence" that it would affect my pregnancy.
I guess the bright side is it's winter and my legs and arms are pretty much covered when I leave the house. Hopefully I won't have to play the waiting game too much longer and my skin with go back to normal...

Did you talk to your OB about it. I was reading about it online & it said no treatment is usually requried & it should go away in a couple of weeks or up to 6 months. I remember I had a skin condition on my back & chest when I was pregnant. My doc gave me some cream to put on it, but it didn't go away till after I gave birth. You will be fine & it may just go away on it's own soon.
Yeah, I talked to my OB and he referred me to the dermatologist. Right now it looks a lot better than before, I just hope it goes away completely and quickly.
Thanks for visiting my blog Kenya! you and your daughter are beautful, I love your hair.
I hope the rash continues to clear up!
