I don’t remember having a rash, Jill, but I was definitely VERY itchy!!! I tried everything: creams, lotions, oatmeal baths (the Aveeno kind ... don’t do that, BTW!! I ended up with a terrible yeast/bladder infection, because your pH level is very low down there when you’re pregnant). My doctor said that itchy skin is a common condition in pregnancy, so I’m not sure if it’s related to the dex. or not.

I wish I could tell you that I found some wonderful magic cure, but all I can remember (it was nearly 10 yrs ago now!) is trying to keep cool and dry (not easy in the summer), and using Gold Bond lotion when it got really bad.

If you have a rash, perhaps it’s something else .... if it doesn’t clear up soon, I’d go see a doctor. You sure don’t want to scratch it and get an infection .... Hope you feel better soon!
